Karaoke Track: The River by Bruce Springsteen (Sunfly) - Karaoke Nerds

I come from
down in the valley

where mister
when you're young

They bring you up

to do like
your daddy done

Me and Mary
we met in

high school
when she was
just seventeen

We'd ride
out of that valley

down to where
the fields were green

We'd go down
to the river

and into the river
we'd dive

on 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 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 down the aisle

No flowers
No wedding dress

That night we went
down to the river

and into the river
we'd dive

on down to the river

we did ride
oh yeah

Instrumental
35 seconds

I got a job working

construction for the
Johnstown Company

But lately there
ain't been much work

on account of
the economy

Well mister

theyr vanished
right into the air

Now 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 tan and wet
down at the reservoir

And pull her close

just to feel each
breath she'd take

Now those memories
come back

to haunt me
they haunt me
like a curse

Is a dream 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

that sends me
down to the river
tonight

Down to the river
my baby and I

oh down to the river
we ride i-i-ide

Ohohohoh
Ohohohoh

Ohohohoh
Ohohohoh
Ohohoh

Ohohohoh

Ohohohoh
