Just a young man in an old steel town
2
I'm getting older now, it's time to look around
3
My brother John loves his needle & spoon
4
A cigarette hangs from his lip
5
Everyone round thinks he's so bad
6
He's really not that cool, no
7
And I know the reasons why
8
Deep inside he's not alive
9
He was born by a river
10
You know he'll die by the river now
11
Cause deep inside my river's run dry
12
So many times did mother swallow her pride
13
Just to keep my old man's dreams alive
14
And I know, and I know someday we're gonna move on outta here
15
She says "Jesus, Lord, don't give me no bad thoughts and bury me here."
16
And I know the reasons why, and I know the reasons why
17
She was born by a river
18
Her blood flows through the river now
19
And deep inside my river's run dry
20
She was born by a river
21
Her blood flows through the river now
22
Cause deep inside my river's run dry
23
Oh, take hold my hand and pray
24
Someday baby we're gonna find a way
25
Oh, oh
26
I know the reasons why
27
Cause deep inside she lost her life
28
Yeah, yeah, yeah
29
She was born by a river
30
Her blood flows through the river now
31
Deep inside the river's run dry
32
She was born by a river
33
You know, we'll die by the river now
34
Cause deep inside my river's run dry
35
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
36
Ooh, yeah
37
We're born by the river now
38
You know, she'll die by the river now
39
Yeah, yeah, huummm
