Verse 1
Picture perfect wedding, cool September day,
Top of a High Rise, Madison and South Main.
She’s shining bright like a white rose glowing in the Sun.
A priest reads from The Bible, two hearts beat as one.
People looking out over the City as the couple says “I do.”
Two lovers now reunite, the bride says “I Love You.”
Reception’s just begun as the lovers begin to leave,
Driving to the Sunsets path in a vintage Limousine.
Chorus
Riverside and Beale, yeah!
Riverside and Beale, yeah!
Riverside and Beale, yeah!
Riverside and Beale, yeah!
Verse 2
Riding Horse drawn carriage, mid-October night,
Riverboat Queen she’s a rolling, everyone’s feeling alright!
She’s thinking about the wedding somewhere in the South of France,
He’s looking to the future because he doesn’t want to miss the dance.
In the cool wind feel the innocence like fall of ‘93,
As the Carriage turns to the left, people board that Riverboat Queen!
Chorus
Riverside and Beale, yeah!
Riverside and Beale, yeah!
Riverside and Beale, yeah!
Riverside and Beale, yeah!
Verse 3
Beale Street Music Fest, rocking in the month of May,
From “Walking the Backstreets and Crying” to “Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay”,
Remembering the best of times and the songs Bob Dylan played.
We were there back in ‘95 ain’t it funny how time flies.
There’s a man playing Saxophone, wailing like he’s found a long lost friend,
as we walk by him I start to pray maybe one day we will dance again.
Chorus
Riverside and Beale, yeah!
Riverside and Beale, yeah!
Riverside and Beale, yeah!
Riverside and Beale, yeah!
