Water Under the Bridge Songtext
von Guy Clark

They baptized me one fine day
Down at the river′s edge
All my sins are washed away
Like water under the bridge

I had a little girl and her eyes were blue
She lived just over the ridge
Her love ran deep and her love ran true
Like water under the bridge

Sailin' away on a paper boat
As far as I can go
All the way to New Orleans
And the Gulf of Mexico

River run clear and the river run clean
And the river run rough sometime
The river run wild and it run serene
Just like a friend of mine


Come tie my troubles in a gunnysack
And throw ′em over the edge
Sailin' away and I won't be back
Like water under the bridge

Sailin′ away on a paper boat
As far as I can go
All the way to New Orleans
And the Gulf of Mexico now

You might be a saint, you might be a sinner
You might be Billy The Kid
You might crap out or roll a winner
It′s water under the bridge

I'm sailin′ away on a paper boat
As far as I can go
All the way to New Orleans
And the Gulf of Mexico

All the way to New Orleans
And the Gulf of Mexico
Sailin' away on a paper boat
As far as I can go
