There?s a girl who lives outside the town
In a house set in the sun
She's the one they have their eyes set on
She's the girl from River Run
All the young men in their senior year
Can't imagine compromise
By the fall, they're walking down the aisle
With this darling as a prize
Every man from every neighbor town
Intends to make his feelings known
But not a word from me was ever heard
About the girl from River Run
Many came to graduation day
She went off to LSU
Everybody stood and waved goodbye
But I had been accepted too
Every man from every neighbor town
Intends to make his feelings known
But not a word from me was ever heard
About the girl from River Run
Bridge
Teddy had a fine Mercedes-Benz
His dad, a man from New York State
He courted her with everything he's got
She never did reciprocate
David was the finest athlete
He had (???) in Kappa Phi
They went dancing at the junior prom
He took her home, she said goodbye
Key Change
Verse 4:verse 4
Then, she set aside her youthful ways
Though she's only 21
At a lecture, I ran into her
And we laughed and had some fun
We walked outside and meant to get some air
She said to me, "Where are you from?"
"A country place you probably don't know of
A little town called River Run"
Then, a smile broke across her face
She missed the people from her home
Two years later, I was married to
That darling girl from River Run
