Richard Marx - Hazard

[intro] [Verse 1] 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 rumours and the lies And saw the man inside... [Chorus] 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... [Verse 2] 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... [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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.. [outro] [end] I need to make it to the river And leave this old Nebraska town.. [outro] [end]
