The River (Live) by Bruce Springsteen
...
I come from down in the valley
Where (1)____________ when you're young
They (2)__________ you up to do
Like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was (3)________ seventeen
We'd (4)__________ out of this valley
Down to (5)__________ the fields were green
We'd go (6)________ to the river
And into the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) down to the river we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
And man (7)________ was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday
I got a (8)__________ card and a wedding coat
We (9)________ down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No (10)______________ day smiles
No walk down the aisle
No flowers, no (11)______________ dress
We went down to the river
And (12)________ the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) (13)________ to the river we'd ride
I got a job working construction
For the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't (14)________ no work
On (15)______________ of the economy
Now all them things that (16)____________ so important
Well (17)____________ (18)________ vanished (19)__________ into the air
I just act like I don't remember
Mary (20)________ like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her (21)________ tanned and wet (22)________ at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each (23)____________ she'd take
Now the (24)________________ come (25)________ to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't (26)________ true
Or is it something worse
That sends me down to the river
Though I (27)________ the river 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
