Текст песни Girl from River Run - Steve Martin , Steep Canyon Rangers

There's a girl who lives outside the town
In a house set in the sun
She's the one they have their eyes set on
She's The Girl from River Run

All the young men in their senior year
Can't imagine compromise
By the fall they're walking down the aisle
With this darling as a prize

Every man from every neighbor town
Intends to make his feelings known
But not a word from me was ever heard
About The Girl from River Run

When it came to graduation day
She went off to LSU
Everybody stood and waved goodbye
But I had been accepted too

Every man from every neighbor town
Intends to make his feelings known
But not a word from me was ever heard
About The Girl from River Run

Teddy had a fine Mercedes-Benz
His dad owned land in New York State
He courted her with everything he's got
She never did reciprocate

David was the finest athlete
Handsome, strong, and Kappa Phi
They went dancing at the junior prom
He took her home, she said goodbye

Then she set aside her youthful ways
Though she's only 21
At a lecture I ran into her
Then we laughed and had some fun

We walked outside and went to get some air
She said to me "Where are you from?"
"A country place you probably don't know of,
A little town called River Run."

Then a smile broke across her face
She missed the people from her home
Two years later I was married to
That darling girl from River Run
