The Clarks Lyrics
The river Lyrics
The river by The Clarks
Where mister when your young
They bring you up to do
Like your daddy done
Well Mary we met in high school
She was just 17
We'd drive outta this valley
And 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
well I got Mary pregnant
And man that was all she wrote
Before my 19th birthday
I got a union card and a wedding coach
We went down to the courthouse
The judge brought it all to rest
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisles
No flowers, no wedding dress
We'd go 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
Lately there ain't been much work
On account of the economy
All those things that seemed so important
Well they just vanish in the air
And I act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
And I remember us riding in my brother's car
About 10 and went around the reservoir
At night on the banks i'd lye awake
and pull her close to hear each breath she takes
Those memories come back to haunt me
Well they haunt me like a curse
is a dream a lie that don't come true,or is it something worse?
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride
