paroles de chanson The River - Ramoncín

I was born down in the valley
Where Mr. and Mrs. Young
They brought you up to do
Just like you did at home
Me and Mary, we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd drive all over this valley
'Til the good times just seemed to be
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we'd run, aye aye aye
I got Mary pregnant and mine was a son, Steve
And for my nineteenth birthday
I got a real gun and a wedding coat
We went into North Dakota
And the judge put it up to rest
There was no witness, no eyes, no one around
No flowers, no wedding dress
That night we'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we'd run, aye aye aye
I got a job working construction
For a Johnson Company
But letting any man boss work
On a girl of the economy
No one thinks it's so important
When Mr. and Mrs. vanished right into the air
Now it's just like I don't remember
Maybe I've lost, still I don't care
But I remember this ride in my brother's car
And going down the way down to the desert bar
And I hope you find some light way
And pour a glass just to me this crazy day
Now those memories come back to haunt me
To haunt me like a ghost
It's a sweet life, and you know it's true
But it's something more
That sends me down to the river
Oh, I know the river is dry
Sends me down to the river tonight, aye aye aye
Down to the river, my baby and I
Oh, down to the river we'd run, aye aye aye
