The Bridge Washed Out Lyrics

Ricky Nelson The Bridge Washed Out

The bridge washed out I can't swim And my baby's on the other side

When I awoke this mornin' The rain was pourin' down I was gonna wed a little river girl Just over the bridge across town Now I'm runnin' up and down the river And my nerves are drivin' me wild

Because 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 warned my bride's a waitin' And the weddin' bells are startin' to chime I can't kiss and hold her It's drivin' me outta my mind

Because the bridge washed out I can't swim And my baby's on the other side

And now I've got one foot in the water But one foots solid on the ground I'd try to swim that ragin' old river But I know if I try I'll drown There's not one boat around me They've all gone out with the tide

Because the bridge washed out I can't swim And my baby's on the other side 'Cause the bridge washed out I can't swim And my baby's on the other side
