Lyrics Down by the River - The New Roses

Down by the River

Many years gone by
But it feels like yesterday
I guess a part of me has never changed
As it feels this way
School is nothing but some old man’s books
So I didn’t waste time on this
And when the summer showed its sunny face
We’d all meet down at a secret place
Ohh-oh, just a six-pack and a radio
Down by the river!
(It was back in the day)
Hey-yay, when tomorrow was a year away
Down by the river!
(Down by the river, yeah)
No need for calls no rush
Many just showed up
We shared everything for what you could bring
A lighter and a plastic cup
Somebody always had a broken heart
While somebody just fell in love
And when the sun went down and the stars came up
It was all we were dreaming of
Ohh-oh, just a six-pack and a radio
Down by the river!
(It was back in the day)
Hey-yay, when tomorrow was a year away
Down by the river!
(Down by the river)
There was skinny dipping after midnight
Stealing kisses in the fire light
No job, no plans, just live, just love, just dance, ohh-aay!
Come on, come on, come on!
Ohh-oh, just a six-pack and a radio
Down by the river!
(It was back in the day)
Hey-yay, when tomorrow was a year away
Down by the river!
(Down by the river)
Ohh-oh, come on!
