The Gaslight Anthem - Meet Me By The River's Edge lyrics

See, I've been here for 28 years Poundin' sweat beneath these wheels We tattooed lines beneath our skin No surrender, my Bobby Jean See, I've been here for 28 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 growin' up around here Our father's factories marked our cards While Eden burned against the stars 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 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 You're the only one who will 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 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 If I never really left or if I can go home 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 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
