My mother came to hazard when I was just seven
|
Even then the folks in town said with predjudiced eyes
|
That boy's not right
|
Three years ago when I came to know mary
|
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies
|
And saw the man inside
|
|
We used to walk down by the river
|
She loved to watch the sun go down
|
We used to walk along the river
|
And dream our way out of this town
|
|
No one understood what I felt for mary
|
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone
|
And never came home
|
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
|
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
|
Pointed right at me
|
|
I swear I left her by the river
|
I swear I left her safe and sound
|
I need to make it to the river
|
And leave this old nebraska town
|
|
I think about my life gone by
|
And how it's done me wrong
|
There's no escape for me this time
|
All of my rescues are gone, long gone
|
|
I swear I left her by the river
|
I swear I left her safe and sound
|
I need to make it to the river
|
And leave this old nebraska town
|
