The River (Live) by Bruce Springsteen
...
I (1)________ from down in the valley
Where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do
Like your daddy done
Me and (2)________ we met in (3)________ school
When she was just seventeen
We'd drive out of (4)________ valley
Down to where the (5)____________ (6)________ green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) down to the (7)__________ we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
And man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth 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
We went down to the river
And (8)________ the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) down to the river we'd ride
I got a job working construction
For the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been no work
On account of the economy
Now all (9)________ things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished (10)__________ (11)________ the air
I just act like I don't remember
Mary (12)________ like she don't care
But I (13)________________ us (14)____________ in my brother's car
Her (15)________ tanned and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her (16)__________ just to feel (17)________ breath she'd take
Now the memories come (18)________ to haunt me
They (19)__________ me (20)________ a curse
Is a (21)__________ a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
That sends me down to the river
Though I (22)________ the river is dry
(Oh oh) (23)________ to the river tonight
...
Down to the river
My (24)________ and I
(Oh oh) (25)________ to the river we ride
...
