Lyrics
DOWN BY THE RIVER
VERSE 1
A E D
Every Friday night me and all my friends had this special place where
E A D A
we all liked to meet. It was in a clearing at the end of a dirt road where
D E A D A
we'd celebrate the end of every week. ----- Down by The River.
CHORUS
D A E
Down by the river we'd party all night long. Someone would play
A
a guitar and we'd all sing along.
D A E
Dancing barefoot in the dirt with your date if you had one. If you didn't it
A D A
was okay to dance alone. Burning up the night like there was no tomorrow.
E A D A
Just being young and having fun. ----- Down by The River.
VERSE 2
A E D
Every now and then my mind takes me back there when I'm dealing with
E A D A
the everyday stress and strife. To a time when we lived a carefree existence.
D E A D A
Those were some of the best days of my life.----- Down by The River.
REPEAT CHORUS
D A D A
Yeah those were some of the best days of my life.----- Down by The River.
