[00:00:00] The River - Chely Wright

[00:00:01] Written by：Chely Wright

[00:00:22] On a Friday night where

[00:00:24] I grew up there ain't a whole lot you can do

[00:00:29] The same old faces the same old places ain't nothin' ever new

[00:00:36] After the football game we'd hang around the high school parkin' lot

[00:00:44] Then we'd pile into a couple of cars and head off to our favorite spot

[00:00:51] Down to the river

[00:00:58] We went to the river

[00:01:06] My sophomore year was a carbon copy of

[00:01:10] The ones that came before

[00:01:13] Until that night in late november

[00:01:16] That shook us all down to the core

[00:01:21] We'd won the game by twenty points

[00:01:24] Couldn't wait to celebrate

[00:01:28] But our lead car was goin' way to fast

[00:01:32] And they didn't even hit the brakes

[00:01:34] They went into the river

[00:01:42] Deep in the river

[00:01:51] We buried laurie maybrie in the clothes

[00:01:55] That she'd been wearin'

[00:01:58] Her cheerleader outfit never looked so outta place

[00:02:05] That sweater and that pleated skirt of blue

[00:02:09] And white and crimson

[00:02:12] Just didn't belong in that shiny silver case

[00:02:21] I moved here to nashville on may 12 of '89

[00:02:27] And I started gettin' letters once a week from this friend a mine

[00:02:35] I'd gone to school with christine thorough from kindergarten on

[00:02:42] She'd say hang in there 'cause I just know you're gonna be a star

[00:02:50] She and her boyfriend and a couple a kids

[00:02:53] I guess she met through him

[00:02:57] Set out for the merazine to try

[00:03:00] To cool off by takin' a swim

[00:03:04] There'd been a lotta rain that summer

[00:03:08] And the current was too strong

[00:03:12] I heard that they did all they could

[00:03:15] But christine she was gone

[00:03:21] Into the river

[00:03:27] She died there in the river

[00:03:36] I was baptized in that same

[00:03:39] Water gave my soul to jesus

[00:03:44] How can such a peaceful

[00:03:46] Place be filled with so much pain

[00:03:51] 'Cause two young mothers

[00:03:53] Lost their daughters right there for no reason

[00:03:58] I swear I'll never go down there again

[00:04:05] Back to the river

[00:04:07] Back to the river

[00:04:12] That mean old river

[00:04:19] That beautiful river

[00:04:22] Beautiful river

[00:04:27] That damn old river

[00:04:34] That damn old river
