[Verse 1]
Many years gone by
But it feels like yesterday
I guess a part of me has never changed
As it feels this way
School is nothing but some old man's books
So I didn’t waste time on this
And when the summer showed its sunny face
We'd all meet down at a secret place
[Chorus]
Ohh-oh, just a six-pack and a radio
Down by the river! (It was back in the day)
Hey-yay, when tomorrow was a year away
Down by the river! (Down by the river, yeah)
[Verse 2]
No need for calls no rush
Many just showed up
We shared everything for what you could bring
A lighter and a plastic cup
Somebody always had a broken heart
While somebody just fell in love
And when the sun went down and the stars came up
It was all we were dreaming of
[Chorus]
Ohh-oh, just a six-pack and a radio
Down by the river! (It was back in the day)
Hey-yay, when tomorrow was a year away
Down by the river! (Down by the river)
[Bridge]
There was skinny dipping after midnight
Stealing kisses in the fire light
No job, no plans, just live, just love, just dance, ohh-aay!
Come on, come on, come on!
[Chorus]
Ohh-oh, just a six-pack and a radio
Down by the river! (It was back in the day)
Hey-yay, when tomorrow was a year away
Down by the river! (Down by the river)
Ohh-oh, come on!
