[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
