Meet Me By The River's Edge Lyrics - The '59 Sound - The Gaslight Anthem

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 

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 

Meet me by the river's edge
