Lyrics:

                                                  
    
THE RIVER 


SHE WAS YOUNG AND HE WAS OLD AND SHE WAS SWEET AND BEAUTIFUL
IN A SMALL SHACK ON THE RIVERBANK, SHE FELT HIS BLOWS SO HARD AND CRUEL
HE STOLE HER HEART AND BROKE HER DREAMS OF BEING A GOOD WIFE
TOO LATE TO GO RUNNING HOME NOW AND LIVE HER MAMA'S LIFE

     Pre:
     THEN ONE NIGHT IN THE PALE MOONLIGHT AS HE LAY PASSED OUT IN THE 
      VAN
     SHE CLOSED HER EYES AND CROSSED HER HEART AND CARRIED OUT HER 
     PLAN

     CHORUS:
     THE RIVER RUNS WIDE AND THE RIVER RUNS DEEP
      AND OH THE SECRETS THAT RIVER DOES KEEP
      THE RIVER IS SWIFT AND IT'S COLD AND BLACK
      AND NO, HE AIN'T NEVER, EVER COMIN' BACK

SHE CRIED WHEN THE SHERIFF SHOWED UP AND AS HE LOOKED ALL AROUND
HE SHOOK HIS HEAD GOT BACK IN HIS CAR AND DROVE BACK TO TOWN
THE MEANEST  MAN HAD DISAPPEARED AND HER STORY WAS CONVINCING
NOBODY GAVE A DAMN BOUT THE REASON HE WENT MISSING

     

     REPEAT CHORUS: 

     BRIDGE:
     LATE THAT SPRING THERE CAME A DROUGHT
     AND SHE KNEW SHE COULDN'T STAY
     SO SHE LEFT TOWN ON A BUS SOUTHBOUND
     PRAYING FOR A HEAVY RAIN 
     
     
     REPEAT CHORUS:
       
      TAG:
      WHEN SHE THINKS ABOUT HER PAST IT MAKES HER SHIVER
      'CUZ ALL HER SECRETS ARE DOWN THERE IN THE RIVER
