Lyrics and Chords

Down Here By The River

All I Needed Was You

(Steven Van Zandt, Universal Music Publishing Group, BMG Rights Management)

Outside the church bells toll
For this wasteland we call home
There's nowhere left to hide or run to
Daddy drank real hard late at night
He'd say without love life's a long fight
l promised I'd win one fight for him, babe

The storm outside is raging
I close my eyes, l think about you, babe
I think about you, girl
There's got to be something left worth saving
We've wasted too much time

And I played the fool I played the soldier
Now my struggling days are over
I wanted everything
When all l needed was you, girl

l didn't understand I was just a young boy
All I wanted was a rich man's play toys
Didn't really care how I got there, baby
But now I've seen a thousand dreams die
In the oil fields, in the coal mines
No need to wonder why
Nobody's satisfied lately
