[01:56.12]It's three miles to the river
[02:03.69]That would carry me away,
[02:05.43]
[02:10.31]And two miles to the dusty street
[02:12.68]
[02:16.81]That I saw you on today.
[02:18.81]
[02:22.81]It's four miles to my lonely room
[02:25.50]
[02:30.24]Where I will hide my face,
[02:32.31]
[02:36.62]And about half a mile to the downtown bar
[02:39.74]
[02:43.69]That I ran from in disgrace.
[02:45.81]
[02:49.50]Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
[02:52.75]
[02:55.81]Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
[02:59.61]
[03:02.49]All I know is, since you've been gone
[03:05.73]
[03:07.24]I feel like I'm drowning in a river,
[03:12.49]
[03:13.86]Drowning in a river of tears.
[03:21.90]
[03:26.71]Drowning in a river.
[03:28.77]
[03:33.78]Feel like I'm drowning,
[03:36.28]
[03:39.46]Drowning in a river.
[03:41.53]
[04:17.03]In three more days, I'll leave this town
[04:22.56]
[04:23.82]And disappear without a trace.
[04:25.94]
[04:29.25]A year from now, maybe settle down
[04:31.88]
[04:37.25]Where no one knows my face.
[04:39.50]
[04:43.57]I wish that I could hold you
[04:46.26]
[04:49.13]One more time to ease the pain,
[04:52.00]
[04:55.76]But my time's run out and I got to go,
[04:59.31]
[05:03.38]Got to run away again.
[05:05.13]
[05:09.94]Still I catch myself thinking,
[05:12.78]
[05:16.59]One day I'll find my way back here.
[05:19.10]
[05:24.03]You'll save me from drowning,
[05:26.65]
[05:27.34]Drowning in a river,
[05:31.84]
[05:33.90]Drowning in a river of tears.
[05:41.84]
[05:46.59]Drowning in a river.
[05:51.97]
[05:52.85]Feels like I'm drowning,
[05:55.41]
[05:59.35]Drowning in the river.
[06:01.59]
[06:04.34]Lord, how long must this go on
[06:07.65]
[06:54.15]Drowning in a river,
[06:56.08]
[07:00.57]Drowning in a river of tears.
