Sad When That Great Bridge Went Down Lyrics by Pert Near Sandstone

2011

[Verse]
It was just a normal day
People passing by that way
Wasn’t it sad when that great bridge came down
A hundred feet below
The Mississippi waters flowed
Wasn’t it sad when that great bridge came down
[Verse]
Drivers at the wheel
Fell into twisted steel
Wasn’t it sad when that great bridge came down
People at the scene
Jumped in the murky deeps
Wasn’t it sad when that great bridge came down
[Chorus]
Sad, wasn’t it sad
When that great bridge came down
All those people drown
Husband’s and wives
Children lost there lives
Wasn’t it was sad when that great bridge came down
[Verse]
I saw it with my eyes
The rubble and the cries
Wasn’t it sad when that great bridge came down
Survivors on the banks
Giving the good lord their thanks
Wasn’t it sad when that great bridge came down
[Verse]
People cross the nation
Were calling their relations
Wasn’t it sad when that great bridge came down
As rescue workers dove
The death total rose
Wasn’t it sad when that great bridge came down
[Chorus]
{Verse
It was just a normal day
People passing by that way
Wasn’t it sad when that great bridge came down
A hundred feet below
The Mississippi waters flowed
Wasn’t it sad when that great bridge came down
[Chorus]
