The River (Live) by Bruce Springsteen
...
I come from down in the valley
Where mister (1)________ you're young
They bring you up to do
Like your (2)__________ done
Me and Mary we met in (3)________ school
When she was (4)________ seventeen
We'd drive out of this valley
Down to where the fields (5)________ green
We'd go (6)________ to the river
And into the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) (7)________ to the (8)__________ we'd ride
Then I got (9)________ pregnant
And man (10)________ was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday
I got a union card and a wedding coat
We (11)________ down to the courthouse
And the (12)__________ put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles
No walk down the aisle
No flowers, no (13)______________ dress
We (14)________ (15)________ to the river
And into the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) (16)________ to the river we'd ride
I got a job (17)______________ construction
For the Johnstown Company
But lately (18)__________ ain't been no work
On account of the economy
Now all them (19)____________ that seemed so important
Well mister (20)________ vanished right into the air
I (21)________ act like I don't remember
Mary (22)________ like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body (23)____________ 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 the (24)________________ (25)________ 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 (26)__________ is dry
(Oh oh) down to the river tonight
...
Down to the river
My baby and I
(Oh oh) down to the river we ride
...
