The Bridge Washed Out Songtext
von 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

[ Break ]

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
