The Bridge Washed Out Lyrics

When I awke 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 is a waitin'

And the weddin' bells are starting to chime.

I can't kiss and hold her

And it's driving me out of my mind

The bridge washed out and I can't swim

And my baby's on the other side.

Now I got one foot in the waterGeorge Jones - The Bridge Washed Out - http://motolyrics.com/george-jones/the-bridge-washed-out-lyrics.html

The other foot solid on the ground

When I try to swim that ragin' ol' river

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 is a waitin'

And the weddin' bells are starting to chime.

I can't kiss and hold her

And it's driving me out of my mind

The bridge washed out and I can't swim

And my baby's on the other side.

The bridge washed out and I can't swim

And my baby's on the other side...
