Down Down The Deep River (Live From Bozeman / 2013)

Thank you, woah!

Alright, so what do you guys want me to play (deep down the deep river!)

Men, I haven't played roar! In a really long time!

But, I think I remember how it goes (haha)

This is down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down the deep river

Spit into the center of your hometown

There's, leaves in the street

And there are friends around you now

All the days of your life in a line

Or the way they seemed by '89

But it's not alright

It's not even close to alright

Down a hall of your house, down a road in December

(Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river)

Down a hall of your house, down a road in December

(Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river)

We lie awake at night in a tent

And I say, Tell me about your uncle and his friend

'Cause they seem like very bad men

Well, we want to keep away from them!

Bend in the road back there

We saw the place they go

Tell me about the greatest show

Or the greatest movie you know

Or the greatest song that you taped from off the radio

You gonna play it again and again

It cuts off at the ending, though

Tell me I'm always going to be your best friend

Now, you said it one time, why don't you say it again?

All the way down the line to where the telephone ends

Come on and shout it on down the wire

And it's not alright, not even close to alright

Down a hall of your house, down a road in December

(Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river)

Down a hall of your house, down a road in December

(Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river)

And as the rescue party, the volunteer team

Ah, they're just kids of eighteen

And it's the worst thing they've seen

As they're all standing around that tree

And I'm so sorry, and I can't stop crying

Oh, I know

Shivering from the late fall cold

I felt like a solid ghost

I ran, and then I couldn't slow

My father found me though

My father took me home

He said, Oh, son, I saw you get knocked down and I ran out

I bet your head was spinning

With that bright pain you're stunned

When you've only just begun to be only just beginning

Tossed in the viper pit

All those feelings and fears

And all the difficult shit in all those tender years

There was something in the air

Something gathered in the air

Something singing in the wind

Oh, I'll be your fighter, and you'll be my mirror

And you'll be all right because I'll be right here

Oh, kid, now I'm not going anywhere

I swear I'll try to not be going anywhere

Though it's not alright

It's so far from all right

We'll make it into a choice somehow

I don't know, but you'll have a choice somehow

Down a hall in your house, down a road in December

(Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river)

We can never go back, we can only remember

(Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river)

Maybe they told you about the summer sky

And maybe they said there's a great gold spirit in the summer sky

All your friends

All your best, best friends

Are going to gather around your bed at night

Well that don't make it alright

Because it is still so far from alright

Oh, kid, I know

Down a hall in your house, down a road in December

Up the stairs, four flights up, can you feel my heart shiver?

Walking in the dawn, with that dream getting dimmer and dimmer

I said, are we going down, are we going down, are we going down the deep river

Oh, down the deep river

Down, down, down, down, down the deep river, down, down the deep river

Why don't you, why don't you, oh, say you still see it

Say, say you remember

Are we going down, are we going down

Hey, hey, hey

Are we going down, are we going down, are we going down, are we going down, down, down the deep river

I know it's scary, baby!
