Ricky Nelson - The Bridge Washed Out lyrics

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
