The River (Live) by Bruce Springsteen
...
I come from down in the valley
Where (1)____________ (2)________ you're young
They bring you up to do
Like your daddy done
Me and (3)________ we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd drive out of this valley
Down to where the (4)____________ were green
We'd go (5)________ to the river
And into the (6)__________ 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 (7)__________ card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles
No (8)________ down the aisle
No flowers, no (9)______________ dress
We went (10)________ to the river
And into the (11)__________ we'd dive
(Oh oh) down to the (12)__________ we'd ride
I got a job working construction
For the Johnstown Company
But (13)____________ there ain't (14)________ no work
On (15)______________ of the economy
Now all them (16)____________ that seemed so important
Well (17)____________ they (18)________________ right into the air
I just act like I don't remember
Mary (19)________ (20)________ she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her (21)________ tanned and wet (22)________ at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And (23)________ her (24)__________ 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 (25)________ true
Or is it something worse
That (26)__________ me down to the river
Though I know the (27)__________ is dry
(Oh oh) down to the (28)__________ tonight
...
Down to the river
My baby and I
(Oh oh) down to the (29)__________ we ride
