Lyrics for The River by Bruce Springsteen:
| | | Artist: | Bruce Springsteen |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The River | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 173 | | | | Lyrics: | I come from down in the valley
Where mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do
like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just
seventeen
We'd drive out of this valley down to where the fields were green
We'd go
down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd
ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
And, man, that was all she wrote
And for my 19th
birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the
judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
No flowers, no
wedding dress
That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd
dive
Oh down to the river we did ride
I got a job working construction for the
Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all
them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I
just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us
riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them
banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those
memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't
come true
Or is it something worse,
that sends me
Down to the river
though I
know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
My
baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
