Maybe Im reading it wrong.

No, you read it right. He's saying "you don't understand" to his 'momma'. By turning V4 into a bridge, you are basically saying change the music there, make it "lift" etc...sure, that would work, and for the very reasons you mentioned.

At the time, I was going for simple & old-timey; but I could hear a bridge there, that goes to the relative minor, and then maybe resolves through the major 2 to the 5.
