The River |
| 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 |
