The River (Live) by Bruce Springsteen

...
I (1)________ (2)________ (3)________ in the valley
Where mister (4)________ you're young
They bring you up to do
Like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd drive out of (5)________ valley
Down to (6)__________ the (7)____________ were green

We'd go down to the river
And (8)________ the (9)__________ we'd dive
(Oh oh) down to the river 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 (10)______________ coat

We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No (11)______________ day smiles
No walk down the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress
We (12)________ down to the river
And into the (13)__________ we'd dive
(Oh oh) down to the river we'd ride

I got a job working construction
For the Johnstown Company
But (14)____________ there ain't (15)________ no work
On account of the economy

Now all them (16)____________ that seemed so important
Well (17)____________ they vanished (18)__________ into the air
I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
But I (19)________________ us riding in my brother's car
Her (20)________ (21)____________ and wet (22)________ at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And (23)________ her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now the memories come (24)________ to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't (25)________ true
Or is it something worse
That sends me down to the river
Though I (26)________ the river is dry
(Oh oh) down to the river tonight
...
Down to the river
My (27)________ and I
(Oh oh) down to the river we ride
