Devils And Dust Tour 2005 - Paris Bercy Live- br br I come from down in the valley where mister when youre young br They bring you up to do like your daddy done br Me and mary we met in high school when she was just seventeen br Wed ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green br br Wed go down to the river br And into the river wed dive br Oh down to the river wed ride br br Then I got mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote br And for my nineteen birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat br We went down to the courthouse and the judge put it all to rest br No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle br No flowers no wedding dress br That night we went down to the river br And into the river wed dive br On down to the river we did ride br br I got a job working construction for the johnstown company br But lately there aint been much work on account of the economy br Now all them things that seemed so important br Well mister they vanished right into the air br Now I just act like I dont remember, mary acts like she dont care br But I remember us riding in my brothers car br Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir br At night on them banks Id lie awake br And pull her close just to feel each breath shed take br Now those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse br Is a dream a lie if it dont come true br Or is it something worse that sends me br Down to the river though I know the river is dry br Down to the river, my baby and i br Oh down to the river we ride
