Down by the River

Many years gone by,
But it feels like yesterday.
I guess a part of me has never changed,
As it feels this way.

School is nothing but some old man's books,
So I didn't waste time on this.
And when the summer showed its sunny face,
We'd all meet down at a secret place.

Oh-oh, just a six-pack and a radio,
Down by the river!
It was back in the day, hey hey!
When tomorrow was a year away.
Down by the river, down by the river.

No need for calls no rush,
Many 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 up,
It was all we were dreaming of!

Oh-oh, just a six-pack and a radio,
Down by the river!
It was back in the day, hey hey!
When tomorrow was a year away.
Down by the river, down by the river.

There was skinny dipping after midnight,
Stealing kisses in the fire light.
No job, no plans, just live, just love, just dance, oh!
Come on, come on, come on!

Oh-oh, just a six-pack and a radio,
Down by the river!
It was back in the day, hey hey!
When tomorrow was a year away.
Down by the river, down by the river.
