And we were barely dressed

Bruce Springsteen - The River (The River Tour, Tempe 1980) - YouTube


I come from down in the valley,
Where mister, when you're young,
They bring up to do
Just like your daddy done.

Me and Mary, we met in high school,
When she was just seventeen.
We'd ride out of that valley,
Down to where the fields were green.

We'd go down to the river,
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river,
We'd ride.

Then I got Mary pregnant,
And man, that was all she wrote.
And for my 19th birthday,
I got a union card and a wedding coat.
We went to the courthouse, and the judge put it all to rest.
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle,
No flowers, no wedding dress

That night we went down to the river ......

I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company.
But lately there ain't been much work, on account of the economy.
Now all them things that seemed so important,
Well, mister, they just vanished right into the air.

Now I just act like I don't remember,
And Mary acts like she don't care.
But I remember us riding in my brother's car,
Her body tanned and wet down at the reservoir.
At night on those banks I'd lie awake
And hold her close just to feel each breath she take.

Now those memories come back to haunt me,
They haunt me like a curse.
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true,
Or is it something worse,
That sends me down to the river,
Though I know the river is dry ....

Brooks & Dunn - South Of Santa Fe

And we were lost in each other's eyes
Where loneliness meets paradise
