The River (Live) by Bruce Springsteen

...
I come from (1)________ in the valley
Where mister when you're young
They (2)__________ you up to do
Like (3)________ daddy done
Me and (4)________ we met in (5)________ school
When she was just seventeen
We'd drive out of this valley
Down to where the fields were 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 union card and a (8)______________ coat

We went down to the courthouse
And the (9)__________ put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles
No walk (10)________ the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress
We went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) (11)________ to the (12)__________ we'd ride

I got a job (13)______________ construction
For the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been no work
On account of the economy

Now all them (14)____________ (15)________ seemed so important
Well mister (16)________ vanished (17)__________ 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 tanned and wet down at the reservoir
At night on (19)________ (20)__________ I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now the memories (21)________ back to haunt me
They haunt me (22)________ a curse
Is a (23)__________ a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
That sends me down to the river
Though I (24)________ the (25)__________ is dry
(Oh oh) down to the (26)__________ tonight
...
Down to the river
My baby and I
(Oh oh) down to the river we ride
