Kenny Vernon - Bridge Washed Out Lyrics

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 runnin' up and down the river and my nerves are drivin' me wild

And the bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side

Well now 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 and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side

[ guitar ]

Now I got one foot in the river the other foot solid on the ground

I try to swim that ragin' river but I know if I try I'm gonna 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

Well now rain oh rain...

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