The River (Live) by Bruce Springsteen

...
I come from down in the valley
Where mister when 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 this valley
Down to (1)__________ the (2)____________ were green

We'd go down 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 (3)________ was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday
I got a (4)__________ card and a (5)______________ 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 (6)________ down 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 (7)______________ of the economy

Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tanned and wet down at the reservoir
At night on (8)________ banks I'd lie awake
And pull her (9)__________ just to feel each breath she'd take
Now the memories come 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 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
