6th Street Bridge Song Lyrics

I was traveling East on Broad Street

To the Sock Shoppe for some socks

When I saw the kind of thing

That makes you laugh and gives you shocks

The object of my laughter

Was suspended up ahead

It was just a simple yellow sign

But on its face it read

If you hit this sign

You will hit that bridge

It's a shame they couldn't just

Raise it up a smidge

If you're coming back the other way

Then everything is fine

Cause if you hit that bridge

You'll never make it to the sign

The sign became quite famous

And the bridge became a hit

Finding roles in movies

Like Kalifornia with Brad Pitt

One day the 6th street bridge came down

And the sign was put away

In the nearby welcome center

Where it's visitors still say

If you hit this sign

You will hit that bridge

It's a shame they couldn't just

Have raised it up a smidge

If you were driving westward

Then everything was fine

Cause if you hit that bridge

You'd never make it to the sign

There's a new bridge where the old one stood

With current day delights

Once Abraham from The Walking Dead

Shot a rocket from it's heights

It's a perfectly passable modern bridge

But it makes me sad a bit

To pine for days when the sign was up

And our water was adequate

But change is always happening

And the future's where you'll find me

So I did a little something

That would be there to remind me

I printed out a photo

And taped it to my fridge

It says If you hit this sign

You will hit that bridge
