Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

Down by the river where the willow trees hang low

We spent every summer we could ever want to know

Truck bed full of blankets, radio turned up loud

Nothing but the crickets and a sky without a cloud

[chorus]

Down along the river where the current used to sway

We learned about the living and the loving of the day

Barefoot in the water, sunburned on the bank

That's where I got schooled up, that's where I gave thanks

[verse]

We didn't have much money, didn't need a fancy plan

Just an old guitar and a cooler and a rusty pickup van

Every night got warmer, every star got brighter still

Down where the water bends around the hill

[chorus]

Down along the river where the current used to sway

We learned about the living and the loving of the day

Barefoot in the water, sunburned on the bank

That's where I got schooled up, that's where I gave thanks

[bridge]

Years have passed and moved us far from where we used to roam

But summer nights still call me back to something close to home

I close my eyes and I can hear that river running strong

Carrying me back to where I still belong

[chorus]

Down along the river where the current used to sway

We learned about the living and the loving of the day

Barefoot in the water, sunburned on the bank

That's where I got schooled up, that's where I gave thanks

[verse]
Down by the river where the willow trees hang low
We spent every summer we could ever want to know
Truck bed full of blankets, radio turned up loud
Nothing but the crickets and a sky without a cloud

[chorus]
Down along the river where the current used to sway
We learned about the living and the loving of the day
Barefoot in the water, sunburned on the bank
That's where I got schooled up, that's where I gave thanks

[verse]
We didn't have much money, didn't need a fancy plan
Just an old guitar and a cooler and a rusty pickup van
Every night got warmer, every star got brighter still
Down where the water bends around the hill

[chorus]
Down along the river where the current used to sway
We learned about the living and the loving of the day
Barefoot in the water, sunburned on the bank
That's where I got schooled up, that's where I gave thanks

[bridge]
Years have passed and moved us far from where we used to roam
But summer nights still call me back to something close to home
I close my eyes and I can hear that river running strong
Carrying me back to where I still belong

[chorus]
Down along the river where the current used to sway
We learned about the living and the loving of the day
Barefoot in the water, sunburned on the bank
That's where I got schooled up, that's where I gave thanks
