The River - Chely Wright[00:00:00]

Written by：Chely Wright[00:00:01]

On a Friday night where[00:00:22]

I grew up there ain't a whole lot you can do[00:00:24]

The same old faces the same old places ain't nothin' ever new[00:00:29]

After the football game we'd hang around the high school parkin' lot[00:00:36]

Then we'd pile into a couple of cars and head off to our favorite spot[00:00:44]

Down to the river[00:00:51]

We went to the river[00:00:58]

My sophomore year was a carbon copy of[00:01:06]

The ones that came before[00:01:10]

Until that night in late november[00:01:13]

That shook us all down to the core[00:01:16]

We'd won the game by twenty points[00:01:21]

Couldn't wait to celebrate[00:01:24]

But our lead car was goin' way to fast[00:01:28]

And they didn't even hit the brakes[00:01:32]

They went into the river[00:01:34]

Deep in the river[00:01:42]

We buried laurie maybrie in the clothes[00:01:51]

That she'd been wearin'[00:01:55]

Her cheerleader outfit never looked so outta place[00:01:58]

That sweater and that pleated skirt of blue[00:02:05]

And white and crimson[00:02:09]

Just didn't belong in that shiny silver case[00:02:12]

I moved here to nashville on may 12 of '89[00:02:21]

And I started gettin' letters once a week from this friend a mine[00:02:27]

I'd gone to school with christine thorough from kindergarten on[00:02:35]

She'd say hang in there 'cause I just know you're gonna be a star[00:02:42]

She and her boyfriend and a couple a kids[00:02:50]

I guess she met through him[00:02:53]

Set out for the merazine to try[00:02:57]

To cool off by takin' a swim[00:03:00]

There'd been a lotta rain that summer[00:03:04]

And the current was too strong[00:03:08]

I heard that they did all they could[00:03:12]

But christine she was gone[00:03:15]

Into the river[00:03:21]

She died there in the river[00:03:27]

I was baptized in that same[00:03:36]

Water gave my soul to jesus[00:03:39]

How can such a peaceful[00:03:44]

Place be filled with so much pain[00:03:46]

'Cause two young mothers[00:03:51]

Lost their daughters right there for no reason[00:03:53]

I swear I'll never go down there again[00:03:58]

Back to the river[00:04:05]

Back to the river[00:04:07]

That mean old river[00:04:12]

That beautiful river[00:04:19]

Beautiful river[00:04:22]

That damn old river[00:04:27]

That damn old river[00:04:34]
