The River
Bruce Springsteen
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 ride10p 80s acoustic all time favs All-Time Favorites americana Awesome baptism beautiful Best track by band or artist best-evers blue blues brilliant brooky1969 - great songs list bruce changed my life chill class classic classic rock Cool Stuff country rock de tijdloze 2005 decline depressed depressing depressive dramatic Earphone music emotional epic Favorite favorites favourite flow folk folk rock folk-rock french good story great Great Harmonica greatness guitar haunting intiharlik jazz vocal justice kaybedenler klubu magic male vocal male vocalist melancholy Mellow memory mope My chosen ones narrative New Soul - Hip Hop - Rap new wave NJOK old world oldies per chiara poetic poignant pop preferiti pretty prolix-fav punk regret regretful relaxed relaxing repeat riot grrrl rivers rock rock ballad sacraments sad sad songs seen live singalong singer-songwriter souls music Soundtrack springsteen story summer the boss top 2000 top artists tragic various vocal water wistful
