The River (Live) by Bruce Springsteen

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

We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) (7)________ to the river we'd ride

Then I got (8)________ pregnant
And man (9)________ was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday
I got a union (10)________ and a (11)______________ coat

We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles
No (12)________ down the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress
We went (13)________ to the river
And into 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 (14)______________ of the economy

Now all (15)________ things that (16)____________ so important
Well (17)____________ (18)________ vanished right into the air
I just act like I don't remember
Mary (19)________ like she don't care
But I remember us (20)____________ in my brother's car
Her (21)________ tanned and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them (22)__________ I'd lie awake
And pull her (23)__________ just to feel each breath she'd take
Now the memories (24)________ back to haunt me
They (25)__________ 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 river is dry
(Oh oh) down to the (26)__________ tonight
...
Down to the river
My (27)________ and I
(Oh oh) down to the river we ride
