The River (Live) by Bruce Springsteen

...
I (1)________ (2)________ (3)________ in the valley
Where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do
Like (4)________ daddy done
Me and Mary we met in (5)________ school
When she was just seventeen
We'd (6)__________ out of this valley
Down to where the (7)____________ (8)________ green

We'd go down to the river
And (9)________ the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) (10)________ to the river we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant
And man (11)________ was all she wrote
And for my (12)____________________ birthday
I got a union card and a wedding coat

We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles
No walk (13)________ the aisle
No flowers, no (14)______________ dress
We went down to the river
And into the (15)__________ we'd dive
(Oh oh) (16)________ to the river we'd ride

I got a job working construction
For the Johnstown Company
But lately (17)__________ ain't (18)________ no work
On (19)______________ of the economy

Now all them (20)____________ 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 them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her (21)__________ (22)________ to (23)________ each breath she'd take
Now the memories come (24)________ 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 (27)________ to the river
Though I know the river is dry
(Oh oh) (28)________ to the river tonight
...
Down to the river
My baby and I
(Oh oh) (29)________ to the river we ride
