The River (Live) by Bruce Springsteen
...
I (1)________ from down in the valley
Where mister (2)________ you're young
They bring you up to do
Like (3)________ (4)__________ done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd drive out of this valley
Down to where the fields (5)________ green
We'd go down to the river
And into the (6)__________ we'd dive
(Oh oh) (7)________ 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 (8)__________ (9)________ and a wedding coat
We went (10)________ 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 (13)________ the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) (14)________ to the (15)__________ we'd ride
I got a job working construction
For the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't (16)________ no work
On account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they (17)________________ right into the air
I just act like I don't remember
Mary (18)________ like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body (19)____________ and wet (20)________ at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And (21)________ her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now the memories come (22)________ to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a (23)__________ a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
That sends me (24)________ to the river
Though I know the river is dry
(Oh oh) (25)________ to the river tonight
...
Down to the river
My baby and I
(Oh oh) down to the (26)__________ we ride
