The River (Live) - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band[00:00:00]
I come from down in the valley[00:05:50]
Where mister when you're young[00:05:54]
They bring you up to do just like your daddy done[00:05:59]
Me and Mary we met in high school[00:06:07]
When she was just seventeen[00:06:11]
We'd drive outta this valley down to where the fields were green[00:06:16]
We'd go down to the river[00:06:26]
And into the river we'd dive[00:06:31]
Oh down to the river we'd ride[00:06:35]
Then I got Mary pregnant[00:06:43]
And man that was all she wrote[00:06:47]
And for my 19 th birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat[00:06:52]
We went down to the courthouse[00:07:00]
And the judge put it all to rest[00:07:04]
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle[00:07:08]
No flowers no wedding dress[00:07:12]
That night we'd go down to the river[00:07:15]
And into the river we'd dive[00:07:21]
Oh down to the river we'd ride[00:07:24]
I got a job working construction for the johnstown company[00:08:08]
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy[00:08:16]
Now all them things that seemed so important[00:08:24]
Well mister they vanished right into the air[00:08:27]
Now I just act like I don't remember[00:08:32]
Mary acts like she don't care[00:08:36]
But I remember us riding in my brother's car[00:08:40]
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir[00:08:44]
At night on them banks I'd lie awake[00:08:49]
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take[00:08:52]
Now those memories come back to haunt me[00:08:56]
They haunt me like a curse[00:09:01]
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true[00:09:05]
Or is it something worse[00:09:09]
That sends me down to the river[00:09:12]
Though I know the river is dry[00:09:16]
That sends me down to the river tonight[00:09:20]
Down to the river[00:09:29]
My baby and I[00:09:33]
Oh down to the river we ride[00:09:37]
