The River by Bruce Springsteen, released in 1981, delves into the challenges faced by a working-class couple in their pursuit of the American Dream. The song narrates the story of the narrator and his girlfriend, highlighting the contrast between their dreams and the harsh realities of life, such as economic hardship and unexpected setbacks.

The song is closely tied to the American Dream, as evidenced by lines like, "Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse that sends me down to the river." This text reflects a questioning and contemplative stance on the nature of dreams and the difficulties encountered in their realization. The reference to going down to the river adds a metaphorical layer, suggesting a search for solace or reflection in the face of disappointment.

The River leans towards a negative portrayal of the American Dream. The lyrics emphasize the challenges faced by the characters, including economic hardships, unexpected pregnancy, and dashed dreams. Lines like, "Is a dream a lie if it don't come true," and the overall tone of the song, convey a somber and realistic perspective on the difficulties and sacrifices inherent in the pursuit of success, offering a less idealized view of the American Dream.
