Lyrics The River (Live at Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, MI - 08/03/2005) - Bruce Springsteen
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
this
valley
down
to
where
the
fields
were
green
We'd
go
down
to
the
river
And
into
the
river
we'd
dive
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
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
Oh,
down
to
the
river
we'd
ride
I
got
a
job
working
construction
for
the
Johnstown
Company
But
lately
there
ain't
been
much
work
on
account
of
the
economy
Now
all
them
things
that
seemed
so
important
Well,
mister,
they
vanished
right
into
the
air
Iact
like
I
don't
remember
And
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
At
night
on
them
banks
I'd
lie
awake
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
Down
to
the
river
tonight
Down
to
the
river
My
baby
and
I
Down
to
the
river
we
ride
Ooh,
ooh
Ooh,
ooh
Ooh,
ooh
Ooh,
ooh
Ooh,
ooh
