The River - Adam Story[00:00:00]

I come from down in the valley[00:00:17]

Where mister when you're young[00:00:21]

They bring you up to do like your daddy done[00:00:25]

Me and mary we met in high school[00:00:33]

When she was just seventeen[00:00:38]

We'd drive out of this valley down to where the fields were green[00:00:42]

We'd go down to the river[00:00:54]

And into the river we'd dive[00:00:59]

Oh down to the river we'd ride[00:01:02]

Then i got mary pregnant[00:01:11]

Man that was all she wrote[00:01:16]

And for my 19th birthday i got a union card and a wedding coat[00:01:20]

We went down to the courthouse[00:01:28]

And the judge put it all to rest[00:01:32]

No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle[00:01:36]

No flowers no wedding dress[00:01:40]

That night we went down to the river[00:01:46]

And into the river we'd dive[00:01:51]

Oh down to the river we did ride[00:01:55]

I got a job working construction for the johnstown company[00:02:38]

But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy[00:02:46]

Now all them things that seemed so important[00:02:54]

Well mister they vanished right into the air[00:02:58]

Now i just act like i don't remember[00:03:03]

Mary acts like she don't care[00:03:07]

But i remember us riding in my brother's car[00:03:13]

Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir[00:03:17]

At night on them banks i'd lie awake[00:03:22]

And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take[00:03:25]

Now those memories come back to haunt me[00:03:30]

They haunt me like a curse[00:03:34]

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true[00:03:38]

Or is it something worse[00:03:43]

That sends me[00:03:48]

Down to the river[00:03:49]

Though i know the river is dry[00:03:53]

That sends me down to the river tonight[00:03:56]

Down to the river[00:04:06]

My baby and i[00:04:11]

Oh down to the river we ride[00:04:14]
