Bridge of misery
The old Wilson Bridge
How many times we’ve
Been stuck on it

At six am
Or midnight
You never failed
To take our time

And I will never
Shed a tear
To see it gone
The Old Wilson Bridge
The Old Wilson Bridge

And I will never
Shed a tear
The Old Wilson Bridge
The Old Wilson Bridge

And I remember
Been more than 20 years
On that fateful span
The flat that I had
I drove the rim off
Just to get the heck off
The gestures that you gave
Weren’t a peace sign

Oh welcome to
Virginia and Maryland
And cross into
The District of Columbia
And never forget
The people you’re holding up
Or you’ll be swimming
In the Potomac
