Go
Home
My mother came to hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said the prejudice dies
That boy's not right
Three years ago when I came to know mary
First time someone looked beyond
The rumors and the lies
And saw the man inside
We used to walk down by the river
She loved to watch the sun go down
We used to walk along the river
And dream a way out of this town
No one understood what I felt for mary
No one cared until the night she went out
Walking all alone
And never came home
Man with a badge came knocking
Next morning it was I surrounded by
A thousand fingers suddenly pointed right at me
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old nebraska town
I think about my life going by
And how it's done me wrong
There's no escape for me this time
All of my rescues are gone
Long gone
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
Oh I need to make it to the river
And leave this old nebraska town
