Driver driver hurry now
The bridge at Evangeline is out
And there's only one way now
To make it across to higher ground

I pass a cool towel across your brow
To try and bring your fever down
Hold my hand, try not to worry now
If we make it across to the other side I'll kiss the ground
Yeah, I can see, it's gonna be
A Rough Crossing

I watch a branch in the water spiral down
And soon go under
The night is fast approaching us
The sky is black and I hear thunder

It feels like the clock is barely moving at all
Time slows down to a crawl
Deliver me, it's gonna be
A Rough Crossing

Surely this will pass just like any other storm
If a child is born into this world tonight
Lord, keep him safe and warm

It feels like the clock is barely moving at all
Time slows down to a crawl
Deliver me, it's gonna be
A Rough Crossing, yeah
A Rough Crossing
I'll do anything I can do, to see you through
This Rough Crossing
