The River lyrics
Just a young man in an old steel town I'm getting older now, it's time to
look around My brother John loves his needle & spoon A cigarette
hangs from his lip Everyone ‘round thinks he's so bad He's really
not that cool, no
And I know the reasons why Deep inside he's not
alive He was born by a river You know he'll die by the river now
‘Cause deep inside my river's run dry
So many times did
mother swallow her pride Just to keep my old man's dreams alive And I
know, and I know someday we're gonna move on outta here She says
"Jesus, Lord, don't give me no bad thoughts and bury me
here."
And I know the reasons why, and I know the reasons why
She was born by a river Her blood flows through the river now And
deep inside my river's run dry She was born by a river Her blood flows
through the river now ‘Cause deep inside my river's run
dry
Oh, take hold my hand and pray Someday baby we're gonna find a
way Oh, oh
I know the reasons why ‘Cause deep inside she
lost her life Yeah, yeah, yeah
She was born by a river Her blood
flows through the river now Deep inside the river's run dry She was born
by a river You know, we'll die by the river now ‘Cause deep inside
my river's run dry Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ooh, yeah
We're born by the
river now You know, she'll die by the river now Yeah, yeah, huummm
