They had a crush on you River
Blue suede jacket and boots River
And your face shaped like a moon River

You were like my own James Byron Dean
Private Idaho was my East of Eden
Hit me like a stone when I heard you passed
On Halloween

You were only 23 River
And restless as the sea River
But but ya had a hold on me oh River

You were like my own James Byron Dean
Private Idaho was my East of Eden
Hit me like a stone when I heard you passed
On Halloween
