[01:56.120] It's three miles to the river
[02:03.690] That would carry me away,
[02:05.430]
[02:10.310] And two miles to the dusty street
[02:12.680]
[02:16.810] That I saw you on today.
[02:18.810]
[02:22.810] It's four miles to my lonely room
[02:25.500]
[02:30.240] Where I will hide my face,
[02:32.310]
[02:36.620] And about half a mile to the downtown bar
[02:39.740]
[02:43.690] That I ran from in disgrace.
[02:45.810]
[02:49.500] Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
[02:52.750]
[02:55.810] Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
[02:59.610]
[03:02.490] All I know is, since you've been gone
[03:05.730]
[03:07.240] I feel like I'm drowning in a river,
[03:12.490]
[03:13.860] Drowning in a river of tears.
[03:21.900]
[03:26.710] Drowning in a river.
[03:28.770]
[03:33.780] Feel like I'm drowning,
[03:36.280]
[03:39.460] Drowning in a river.
[03:41.530]
[04:17.290] In three more days, I'll leave this town
[04:22.560]
[04:23.820] And disappear without a trace.
[04:25.940]
[04:29.250] A year from now, maybe settle down
[04:31.880]
[04:37.250] Where no one knows my face.
[04:39.500]
[04:43.570] I wish that I could hold you
[04:46.260]
[04:49.130] One more time to ease the pain,
[04:52.0]
[04:55.760] But my time's run out and I got to go,
[04:59.310]
[05:03.380] Got to run away again.
[05:05.130]
[05:09.940] Still I catch myself thinking,
[05:12.780]
[05:16.590] One day I'll find my way back here.
[05:19.100]
[05:24.300] You'll save me from drowning,
[05:26.650]
[05:27.340] Drowning in a river,
[05:31.840]
[05:33.900] Drowning in a river of tears.
[05:41.840]
[05:46.590] Drowning in a river.
[05:51.970]
[05:52.850] Feels like I'm drowning,
[05:55.409]
[05:59.350] Drowning in the river.
[06:01.590]
[06:04.340] Lord, how long must this go on
[06:07.650]
[06:54.150] Drowning in a river,
[06:56.800]
[07:00.570] Drowning in a river of tears.
[01:56.120] It' s  three  miles  to  the  river
