Meet Me by the River’s Edge

Lyrics

[Intro] See, I've been here for twenty-eight years Pounding sweat beneath these wheels Tattooed lines beneath our skin No surrender, my Bobby Jean [Verse 1] See, I've been here for twenty-eight years Poundin' sweat beneath these wheels We tattooed lines beneath our skin No surrender, my Bobby Jean And we've been burned by all our fears Just from growing up around here Our fathers' factories marked our cards While Eden burned against the stars [Chorus] And Sally said, Sally said "I can't take no more regret It cut us deep into our souls Came and climbed into our bed" And Sally said, Sally said "Meet me by the river's edge We're going to wash these sins away Or else we won't come back again" [Verse 2] You know I had these ballroom dreams That as a child came to me I was a boy in Grandma's arms A mother's pride and a wounded heart And I was full with fiery wonder You wore Audrey Hepburn pearls You were the only one who understood me then The only one who will [Chorus] Sally said, Sally said "I can't take no more regret It cut us deep into our souls Came and climbed into our bed" And Sally said, Sally said "Meet me by the river's edge We're going to wash these sins away Or else we won't come back again" [Bridge] And now I drive the 101 On a California night And I'm amazed at all the stars Beneath that old Hollywood sign And they waltz the ballet up the boulevard To a place we never kept And I'm not sure if we belong here And if I never really left Or if I can go home [Chorus] Sally said, Sally said "I can't take no more regret It cut us too deep into our souls Came and climbed into our bed" Sally said, Sally said "Meet me by the river's edge We're going to wash these sins away Or else we won't come back again, no" [Outro] No retreat, no regrets No retreat, no regrets No retreat, no regrets Meet me by the river's edge No retreat, no regrets No retreat, no regrets No retreat, no regrets Meet me by the river's edge
