[00:03.41]Bruce Springsteen -the river
[00:17.51]I come from down in the valley
[00:21.65]Where mister when you're young
[00:25.90]They bring you up to do like your daddy done
[00:33.72]Me and Mary,we met in high school
[00:38.27]When she was just seventeen
[00:42.53]We'd drive outta this valley down to where the fields were green
[00:52.26]We'd go down to the river
[00:56.75]And into the river we'd dive
[00:59.83]Oh,down to the river we'd ride
[01:09.13]Then I got Mary pregnant
[01:13.01]And man,that was all she wrote
[01:17.33]And for my 19th birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
[01:25.45]We went down to the courthouse
[01:29.13]And the judge put it all to rest
[01:33.50]No wedding day smiles,no walk down the aisle
[01:37.90]No flowers,no wedding dress
[01:41.00]That night we'd go down to the river
[01:45.75]And into the river we'd dive
[01:49.20]Oh down to the river we'd ride
[02:33.24]I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
[02:41.53]But lately there ain't been much work,on account of the economy
[02:49.37]Now all them things that seemed so important
[02:53.32]Well mister they vanished right into the air
[02:57.29]Now I just act like I don't remember
[03:01.39]Mary acts like she don't care
[03:05.43]But I remember us riding in my brother's car
[03:09.54]Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
[03:13.97]At night on them banks I'd lie awake
[03:17.51]And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
[03:21.71]Now those memories come back to haunt me
[03:25.90]They haunt me like a curse
[03:30.02]Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
[03:34.17]Or is it something worse,
[03:37.54]That sends me down to the river
[03:42.15]Though I know the river is dry
[03:45.87]That sends me down to the river tonight
[03:54.92]Down to the river
[03:58.50]My baby and I
[04:03.11]Oh down to the river we ride...
