Lyrics

Down by the River (c)(p)2007 Heidi Huettner
Please note lyrical changes in V1

Verse 1:
Thirty years ago 24th and Main street didn't meet
Two dead ends and riverbed below
Frogs and bugs and teenage love all shared that summer heat
Oklahoma--and red dirt roads

Chorus:
Down by the river, beer and bonfires lit up Friday nights
Down by the river, fog and dust from the headlights
We'd circle up those pickup trucks
Blankets in the back for who knows what
'Cause down by the river, everything could be just right

Verse 2:
Skippin' school and quicksand pools and racin' beat-up jeeps
Penny ante poker and a radio
No one ever thought they'd carve up lots and put in streets
Now it's all rooftops and patios

Chorus

Bridge:
And it feels wrong every time I'm home or reminisce
'Bout beer can pyramids, or my first kss

Chorus
