The River (Live) by Bruce Springsteen

...
I come from down in the valley
Where (1)____________ (2)________ you're young
They (3)__________ you up to do
Like (4)________ daddy 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 were green

We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) down to the (5)__________ we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant
And man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday
I got a union (6)________ and a wedding coat

We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No (7)______________ day smiles
No walk (8)________ the aisle
No flowers, no (9)______________ dress
We went (10)________ to the river
And into the (11)__________ we'd dive
(Oh oh) (12)________ to the river we'd ride

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

Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished (14)__________ into the air
I just act (15)________ I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
But I (16)________________ us (17)____________ in my brother's car
Her (18)________ tanned and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to (19)________ (20)________ breath she'd take
Now the memories (21)________ back to (22)__________ 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 down to the river
Though I know the river is dry
(Oh oh) down to the river tonight
...
Down to the river
My (24)________ and I
(Oh oh) down to the river we ride
