My mother came to Hazard
When I was just seven
Even then the folks in town
Said with prejudiced eyes

That boy's not right, three years ago
When I came to know Mary
First time that 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 our way out of this town

No one understood what I felt for Mary
No one cared until the night
She went out walking alone
And never came home

Man with a badge came
Knocking next morning, here 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 gone 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
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town
