The Banks of the River

I was, born and raised At the top of the riverbank Where nothing much remains And I've seen broken hearts I've seen broken homes and friends And family's torn apart The river will drag you down if you let it I got out alive I was born on the banks of the river Ive gotta keep my head above the water An industrial city the streets don't have much pity I got out alive We were alright we were alright We were alright we were alright We were alright we were alright We were alright we were alright This town will drag you down Only if you let it I got out alive I spent, all my time yeah Down by the river Were the cranes were froze in time But we had the time of our lives We never let it grind us down We got out alive The river will drag you down if you let it I got out alive I was born on the banks of the river I've gotta keep my head above the water An industrial city the streets don't have much pity I got out alive We were alright we were alright We were alright we were alright We were alright we were alright We were alright we were alright This town will drag you down Only if you let it I got out alive I was born on the banks of the river I born on the banks of the river I was born on the banks of the river I was born on the banks of the river We were alright we were alright We were alright we were alright We were alright we were alright We were alright we were alright
