They bring you up to do

like your daddy done

I got a union card and a wedding coat

No flowers, no wedding dress

I got a job working construction

For the Johnstown Company

But lately there ain't been much work

that seemed so important

Well mister they vanished right into the air

Now I just act like I don't remember
G
C
Mary acts like she don't care
Verse 4
Em
G
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
D
C
Her body tan and wet, down at the reservoir
Em
G
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
G
just to feel each breath she'd take

Now those memories come back to haunt me
G
Em
They haunt me like a curse
Am
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
G
C
Or is it something worse

That sends me down to the river

Though I know the river is dry
