My mother came to hazard when I was just seven |
| [00:13.02] |
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes |
| [00:19.14] |
That boy's not right |
| [00:23.15] |
Three years ago when I came to know Mary |
| [00:27.27] |
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies |
| [00:33.46] |
And saw the man inside |
| [00:37.33] |
We used to walk down by the river |
| [00:44.40] |
She loved to watch the sun go down |
| [00:51.90] |
We used to walk along the river |
| [00:59.46] |
And dream our way out of this town |
| [01:21.46] |
No one understood what I felt for Mary |
| [01:25.58] |
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone |
| [01:31.96] |
And never came home |
| [01:35.52] |
Man with a badge came knocking next morning |
| [01:39.64] |
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly |
| [01:46.58] |
Pointed right at me |
| [01:50.02] |
I swear I left her by the river |
| [01:57.27] |
I swear I left her safe and sound |
| [02:04.55] |
I need to make it to the river |
| [02:10.11] |
And leave this old Nebraska town |
| [02:16.30] |
|
| [02:20.06] |
I think about my life gone by |
| [02:23.19] |
And how it's done me wrong |
| [02:27.19] |
There's no escape for me this time |
| [02:30.75] |
All of my rescues are gone' long gone |
| [02:43.62] |
|
| [03:04.88] |
I swear I left her by the river |
| [03:11.94] |
I swear I left her safe and sound |
| [03:19.62] |
I need to make it to the river |
| [03:24.38] |
And leave this old Nebraska town |
