My mother came to hazard when I was just seven |
| [00:35.72] |
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes |
| [00:41.70] |
|
| [00:42.51] |
That boy's not right |
| [00:45.63] |
|
| [00:46.69] |
Three years ago when I came to know Mary |
| [00:50.56] |
|
| [00:51.07] |
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies |
| [00:57.67] |
And saw the man inside |
| [01:00.89] |
|
| [01:01.70] |
We used to walk down by the river |
| [01:07.56] |
|
| [01:09.25] |
She loved to watch the sun go down |
| [01:15.37] |
|
| [01:16.99] |
We used to walk along the river |
| [01:23.98] |
|
| [01:24.79] |
And dream our way out of this town |
| [01:30.28] |
|
| [01:48.31] |
No one understood what I felt for Mary |
| [01:52.07] |
|
| [01:52.63] |
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone |
| [01:58.48] |
|
| [01:59.29] |
And never came home |
| [02:02.24] |
|
| [02:03.66] |
Man with a badge came knocking next morning |
| [02:07.98] |
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly |
| [02:13.59] |
|
| [02:14.58] |
Pointed right at me |
| [02:17.46] |
|
| [02:18.65] |
I swear I left her by the river |
| [02:25.22] |
|
| [02:26.27] |
I swear I left her safe and sound |
| [02:32.55] |
|
| [02:33.92] |
I need to make it to the river |
| [02:40.85] |
|
| [02:41.71] |
And leave this old Nebraska town |
| [02:47.15] |
|
| [02:50.20] |
I think about my life gone by |
| [02:53.58] |
And how it's done me wrong |
| [02:56.70] |
|
| [02:57.87] |
There's no escape for me this time |
| [03:01.38] |
All of my rescues are gone, long gone |
| [03:07.98] |
|
| [03:37.50] |
I swear I left her by the river |
| [03:43.50] |
|
| [03:45.05] |
I swear I left her safe and sound |
| [03:51.48] |
|
| [03:52.91] |
I need to make it to the river |
| [03:59.72] |
|
| [04:00.46] |
And leave this old Nebraska town |
