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 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'
Sark 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.

--- Instrumental ---

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...
