Rick Nelson – Bridge Washed Out

The bridge washed out I can’t swim and my baby’s on the other side

When I awkoke 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 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 and my bride are waitin’ and the weddin’ bells are startin’ to chime

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

Cause the bridge washed out I can’t swim and my baby’s on the other side

[ guitar ]

Now I got one foot in the river 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

Cause 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
