My outies wheels fell off
and I can't swim
and my baby's on the other side

When I awoke this a mornin' 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 driving me wild
Cause my outies wheels fell off
and, I can't swim
and my baby's on the other side

Oh rain oh rain stop 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 my outies wheels fell off
and I can't swim
and my baby's on the other side

Yeah I got one foot in the river
one foot solid on the ground
I try to swim that ragin' ol' 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 my outies wheels fell off
and I can't swim
and my baby's on the other side

Yeah rain oh rain stop fallin'..
Cause my outies wheels fell off
and I can't swim
and my baby's on the other side
