[Verse 1]
When you were a young girl, you had a rag doll
The only doll you ever owned
I love you just the way you love your rag doll
But only now my love has grown
Oh and it gets stronger
Talkin' every day
Yeah gettin' deeper honey
Come with me
And it gets higher, every way
I love you, oh

[Chorus 1]
River deep and mountain high, yeah yeah yeah
If I lost you would I cry
I love you baby, baby, baby

[Verse 2]
You got me woman
I done lost all control
I need you baby
Like a river needs to roll

[Chorus 2]
I love you baby
Like a mountain gonna love the sky
I love you baby
River deep and mountain high

[Bridge]
Every day now
Take me with you take my by the hand momma
Lead me to the door
Gotta go, gotta go anyway
Get me to the floor
Gotta take you everywhere I go, yeah
Gotta take you down downtown
Gotta screw around

[Outro]
Oh yeah

Robert Clark “Bob” Seger (born May 6, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist. As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
