《The River》歌词

[00:00:00] The River - Adam Story

[00:00:17] I come from down in the valley

[00:00:21] Where mister when you're young

[00:00:25] They bring you up to do like your daddy done

[00:00:33] Me and mary we met in high school

[00:00:38] When she was just seventeen

[00:00:42] We'd drive out of this valley down to where the fields were green

[00:00:54] We'd go down to the river

[00:00:59] And into the river we'd dive

[00:01:02] Oh down to the river we'd ride

[00:01:11] Then i got mary pregnant

[00:01:16] Man that was all she wrote

[00:01:20] And for my 19th birthday i got a union card and a wedding coat

[00:01:28] We went down to the courthouse

[00:01:32] And the judge put it all to rest

[00:01:36] No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle

[00:01:40] No flowers no wedding dress

[00:01:46] That night we went down to the river

[00:01:51] And into the river we'd dive

[00:01:55] Oh down to the river we did ride

[00:02:38] I got a job working construction for the johnstown company

[00:02:46] But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy

[00:02:54] Now all them things that seemed so important

[00:02:58] Well mister they vanished right into the air

[00:03:03] Now i just act like i don't remember

[00:03:07] Mary acts like she don't care

[00:03:13] But i remember us riding in my brother's car

[00:03:17] Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir

[00:03:22] At night on them banks i'd lie awake

[00:03:25] And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take

[00:03:30] Now those memories come back to haunt me

[00:03:34] They haunt me like a curse

[00:03:38] Is a dream a lie if it don't come true

[00:03:43] Or is it something worse

[00:03:48] That sends me

[00:03:49] Down to the river

[00:03:53] Though i know the river is dry

[00:03:56] That sends me down to the river tonight

[00:04:06] Down to the river

[00:04:11] My baby and i

[00:04:14] Oh down to the river we ride
