Wasi River Bluegrass Blues

[Verse 1] Well I saw an ad on Facebook, made me stop and stare Some river folks in Wasi got a bridge for sale up there Thirty thousand dollars for seventy feet of steel Said "bring a crane and your final nerve" – Lord, that's a hell of a deal [Chorus] Got them Wasi River blues, thirty tonnes of iron pain Got them Wasi River blues, need a crane and half a brain When your grandkids ask you why, son, you just shake your head and cry "I bought a bridge on Facebook" – that's the Wasi River blues [Verse 2] He says it's rail-grade hubris, been sittin' since '03 Engineered for eighty tonnes and your emotional debris Don't message him for small talk, don't ask if it's still there Unless you got a float truck and you really, truly care [Chorus] Got them Wasi River blues, thirty tonnes of iron pain Got them Wasi River blues, need a crane and half a brain When your grandkids ask you why, son, you just shake your head and cry "I bought a bridge on Facebook" – that's the Wasi River blues [Bridge] Could build a road to glory, or a driveway made of dreams Could cross the bends of Wasi doubt, or so the seller seems But when the crane truck pulls away, and you're standin' all alone With seventy feet of steel and debt, you'll wish you'd stayed at home [Final Chorus] Got them Wasi River blues, singin' songs of what I've done Got them Wasi River blues, bought a bridge that weighs a ton Now it's sittin' in my pasture, and the neighbors drive on by Sayin' "there's the fool who bought that bridge" – that's the Wasi River blues Yeah, that's the Wasi River blues (Harmonica outro fading into the distance like common sense)
