My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven |
| [00:35.207] |
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes |
| [00:41.871] |
“That boy's not right ” “ |
| [00:46.471] |
Three years ago when I came to know Mary |
| [00:50.593] |
First time that someone looked beyond the rumours and the lies |
| [00:57.348] |
And saw the man inside |
| [01:01.404] |
We used to walk down by the river |
| [01:08.874] |
She loved to watch the sun go down |
| [01:16.564] |
We used to walk along the river |
| [01:24.597] |
And dream our way out of this town |
| [01:32.464] |
|
| [01:47.755] |
No one understood what I felt for Mary |
| [01:51.734] |
No one cared |
| [01:53.241] |
until the night she went out walking along and never came home |
| [02:03.129] |
Man with a badge came knocking next morning |
| [02:07.502] |
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly |
| [02:14.203] |
Pointed right at me |
| [02:18.378] |
I swear I left her by the river |
| [02:25.718] |
I swear I left her safe and sound |
| [02:33.392] |
I need to make it to the river |
| [02:41.193] |
And leave this old Nebraska town |
| [02:49.846] |
I think about my life gone by |
| [02:53.337] |
And how it's done me wrong |
| [02:57.467] |
There's no escape for me this time |
| [03:00.901] |
All of my rescues are gone, long gone |
| [03:08.461] |
|
| [03:37.251] |
I swear I left her by the river |
| [03:44.617] |
I swear I left her safe and sound |
| [03:52.238] |
Oh I need to make it to the river |
| [04:00.288] |
And leave this old Nebraska town |
| [04:09.123] |
|
