The bridge situation in Southern Indiana is a mess. The bridges that are already there are kind of a mess. They're plagued with potholes, are regularly crashed into by barges, and are bursting with traffic almost all the time. And there seems to be a never ending battle over the possibility of building more bridges. But no one can decide where to put the new bridges, or if there should be tolls to pay for them. It's a bit of a disaster.
lyrics
Let the sky open up, just like an angry eye
And let the rain come down
Let the water rise up, and let it overrun this town
Let the river rise up, and let all the bridges fall
Let it sweep over us all
Let the Mighty Ohio reclaim its great divide
Let Kentuckiana finally break open wide
Like a bridge under troubled water, let everything drown
Let us sink into the river, the Bridge Project let us down
Let the K&I Bridge be the first to wash away
And of course the Kennedy
Let the Sherman Minton and even the 2nd Street
Let them all admit defeat
To the Mississippi, then to the Gulf of Mexico
Let them all finally go
Let the Mighty Ohio reclaim its great divide
Let Kentuckiana finally break open wide
Like a bridge under troubled water, let everything drown
Let us sink into the river, the Bridge Project let us down
Let the Mighty Ohio reclaim its great divide
Let Kentuckiana finally break open wide
Like a bridge under troubled water, let everything drown
Let us sink into the river, the Bridge Project let us down
