Bridge Washed Out Lyrics

by Marty Stuart

Well, the bridged washed out, and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e71510-marty_stuart~bridge_washed_out_lyrics.html ]
When I awoke this a mornin'
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 driving me wild

Cause the bridged washed out, and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side.

Oh rain, rain stop fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride are waitin'
And the weddin' bells are startin' to chime
Well I can't kiss and hold her
And it's drivin' me out of my mind

Cause the bridged washed out, and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side.

Yeah I got one foot in the water, one foot solid on the ground
Well I try to swim that ragin' ol' river but I know if I try, I'd drown
There's not one boat around me, they've all gone out with the tide

Cause the bridged washed out, and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side.

Yeah rain, oh rain stop fallin'
Dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride's a waitin'
And the weddin' bells are startin' to chime
Well I can't kiss and hold her
And it's drivin' me out of my mind

Cause the bridged washed out, and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side.
Yeah, Cause the bridged washed out, and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side.
