What Are The Lyrics For The River By Chely Wright?
On a Friday night where I grew up there ain't a whole lot you can do
The same old faces, the same old places, ain't nothin' ever new After the football game we'd hang around the high school parkin' lot Then we'd pile into a couple of cars and head off to our favorite spot Down to the river We went to the river My sophomore year was a carbon copy of the ones that came before Until that night in late November that shook us all down to the core We'd won the game by twenty points, couldn't wait to celebrate But our lead car was goin' way to fast and they didn't even hit the brakes They went into the river Deep in the river We buried Laurie Maybrie in the clothes that she'd been wearin' Her cheerleader outfit never looked so outta place That sweater and that pleated skirt of blue and white and crimson Just didn't belong in that shiny silver case I moved here to Nashville on May 12 of '89 And I started gettin' letters once a week from this friend a mine I'd gone to school with Christine Thorough from kindergarten on She'd say, "Hang in there 'cause I just know you're gonna be a star" She and her boyfriend and a couple a kids I guess she met through him Set out for the merazine to try to cool off by takin' a swim There'd been a lotta rain that summer and the current was too strong I heard that they did all they could but Christine, she was gone Into the river She died there in the river I was baptized in that same water, gave my soul to Jesus How can such a peaceful place be filled with so much pain? Cause two young mothers lost their daughters right there for no reason I swear I'll never go down there again Back to the river That mean old river That beautiful river That damn old river |
