Down by the River

Many years gone by

But it feels like yesterday

I guess a part of me has never changed

And still feels this way

School was nothing but some old man's books

So I didn't waste time on this

And when the summer showed it's sunny face

We'd all meet down at our secret place

Just a sixpack and a radio

Down by the river

It was back in the day, hey yeah

When tomorrow was a year away

Down by the river

Down by the river

No need for calls, no rush

Man, you 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 out

It was all we were dreaming of

Just a sixpack and a radio

Down by the river

It was back in the day, hey yeah

When tomorrow was a year away

Down by the river

Down by the river

There was skinny dipping after midnight

Stealing kisses in the firelight

No job, no plans

Just live, just love, just dance

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Just a sixpack and a radio

Down by the river

It was back in the day, hey yeah

When tomorrow was a year away

Down by the river

Down by the river

C'mon
