Details for Bruce Springsteen - The River

The River

by 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 that 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 did 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


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


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


That sends me down to the river tonight


Down to the river


my baby and I


Oh down to the river we ride
