Hazard
My mother came to hazard
-
- 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
