My Mother
Came the Hazard
When I was
Just seven
Even then the folks
In town said that
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 our way
Out of this town
No one understood
What I felt for
Mary
No one cared until
The night she went
Out walkin' all alone
And never
Came home
Man with a badge
Came knockin'
Next mornin'
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 goin' by
And how it's
Done me wrong
There's no escape
For me this time
All 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
Ooh ooh
Ooh..
