Twisty River Bridge Lyrics - Streets Of Sin - Joe Ely

I recall that twisty river bridge 

Over that painted river bed 

They pumped about a gallon of muddy water 

Out of my salty head 

I woke up in St. James Divine 

All wrapped up in plaster and twine 

The nurse said I made the front page 

Of the River City Sunday Times 

Oh, that twisty river bridge 

Was damn near the death of me 

Love, wine and gasoline 

Don't mix with jealousy 

Have you seen my Reena 

Did she, did she make it home? 

We had a little misunderstanding 

Talkin' on the telephone 

Tell her that I miss her 

But I don't miss what she done 

When she run off with that double-talkin' 

Son of a Preacher's son 

Oh, that twisty river bridge 

Was damn near the death of me 

Love, wine and gasoline 

Don't mix with jealousy
