[00:10.83] |
My mother came to hazard when I was just seven |
[00:14.34] |
|
[00:14.98] |
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes |
[00:20.13] |
|
[00:21.20] |
That boy's not right |
[00:23.53] |
|
[00:25.24] |
Three years ago when I came to know Mary |
[00:28.47] |
|
[00:29.13] |
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies |
[00:34.06] |
|
[00:35.18] |
And saw the man inside |
[00:37.69] |
|
[00:38.95] |
We used to walk down by the river |
[00:44.57] |
|
[00:45.84] |
She loved to watch the sun go down |
[00:51.79] |
|
[00:53.11] |
We used to walk along the river |
[00:59.43] |
|
[01:00.08] |
And dream our way out of this town |
[01:04.69] |
|
[01:21.77] |
No one understood what I felt for Mary |
[01:24.77] |
|
[01:25.51] |
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone |
[01:30.54] |
|
[01:31.91] |
And never came home |
[01:33.96] |
|
[01:35.78] |
Man with a badge came knocking next morning |
[01:39.06] |
|
[01:39.77] |
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly |
[01:44.66] |
|
[01:45.91] |
Pointed right at me |
[01:48.23] |
|
[01:49.47] |
I swear I left her by the river |
[01:55.02] |
|
[01:56.40] |
I swear I left her safe and sound |
[02:02.20] |
|
[02:03.62] |
I need to make it to the river |
[02:09.69] |
|
[02:10.57] |
And leave this old Nebraska town |
[02:15.38] |
|
[02:18.37] |
I think about my life gone by |
[02:21.06] |
|
[02:21.65] |
And how it's done me wrong |
[02:23.86] |
|
[02:25.46] |
There's no escape for me this time |
[02:28.14] |
|
[02:28.67] |
All of my rescues are gone long gone |
[02:35.92] |
|
[03:01.36] |
I swear I left her by the river |
[03:06.86] |
|
[03:08.45] |
I swear I left her safe and sound |
[03:14.47] |
|
[03:15.45] |
I need to make it to the river |
[03:21.55] |
|
[03:22.50] |
And leave this old Nebraska town |
