The Bridge Washed Out - Junior Brown

The bridge washed out and I can’t swim

And my baby’s on the other side

When I awoke this a morning the rain was a pouring down

I was gonna wed the little river girl

Just over the bridge across town

Now I’m a runnin' up and down the river

And my nerves’re drivin' me wild

Cause the bridge washed out I can’t swim

And my baby’s on the other side

Rain oh rain stop a fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky

The preacher and my bride’re waitin' and the weddin' bells’re startin' to chime

I can’t kiss and hold her and it’s drivin' me out of my mind

Cause the bridge washed out and I can’t swim

And my baby’s on the other side

Now I got one foot in the water the one foot solid on the ground

I try to swim that ragin' old river but I know if I try I’d drown

There’s not a boat around me they walked on out with the tide

And the bridge washed out and I can’t swim

And my baby’s on the other side

Rain oh rain stop a fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky

The preacher and my bride’re waitin'

And the weddin' bells’re startin' to chime

I can’t kiss and hold her and it’s drivin' me out of my mind

Yeah the bridge washed out

And I can’t swim and my baby’s on the other side
