KISSING BRIDGES
[Verse]
I love the covered bridges
Here in Lancaster County
And the thumping sound the wood makes
From the cars and times bounty
[Verse]
Most of them are painted red
But a few are white stained too
And folks say it's good luck to honk
As you drive through
[Chorus]
Mama called them kissing bridges
Back when I was young
For many couples strolled across them and would try to sneak in one
No matter if it's raining
Or the day is blessed with sun
Kissing bridges in Pennsylvania, I'm sure you'll find one
[Verse]
Some of the covered bridges
Span over a quiet creek
And some the Conestoga
Yet they all are so unique
[Verse]
Long ago there were near a thousand
Built and used in this state
But time has not been very kind and I
Worry about their fate
[Chorus]
Mama called them kissing bridges
Back when I was young
For many couples strolled across them and would try to sneak in one
No matter if it's raining
Or the day is blessed with sun
Kissing bridges in Pennsylvania, I'm sure you'll find one
[Instrumental interlude]
[Final chorus]
Mama called them kissing bridges (kissing bridges)
Back when I was young
For many couples strolled across them and would try to sneak in one (she called them kissing bridges)
No matter if it's raining
Or the day is blessed with sun
Kissing bridges in Pennsylvania, I'm sure you'll find one
Kissing bridges in Pennsylvania, I'm sure you'll find one
Kissing bridges in Pennsylvania, I'm sure you'll find one
[Outro]
