[01:56.120]It's three miles to the river
[02:03.690]That would carry me away,
[02:05.430]
[02:10.310]And two miles to the dusty street
[02:12.680]
[02:16.810]That I saw you on today.
[02:18.810]
[02:22.810]It's four miles to my lonely room
[02:25.500]
[02:30.240]Where I will hide my face,
[02:32.310]
[02:36.620]And about half a mile to the downtown bar
[02:39.740]
[02:43.690]That I ran from in disgrace.
[02:45.810]
[02:49.500]Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
[02:52.750]
[02:55.810]Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
[02:59.610]
[03:02.490]All I know is, since you've been gone
[03:05.730]
[03:07.240]I feel like I'm drowning in a river,
[03:12.490]
[03:13.860]Drowning in a river of tears.
[03:21.900]
[03:26.710]Drowning in a river.
[03:28.770]
[03:33.780]Feel like I'm drowning,
[03:36.280]
[03:39.460]Drowning in a river.
[03:41.530]
[04:17.290]In three more days, I'll leave this town
[04:22.560]
[04:23.820]And disappear without a trace.
[04:25.940]
[04:29.250]A year from now, maybe settle down
[04:31.880]
[04:37.250]Where no one knows my face.
[04:39.500]
[04:43.570]I wish that I could hold you
[04:46.260]
[04:49.130]One more time to ease the pain,
[04:52.0]
[04:55.760]But my time's run out and I got to go,
[04:59.310]
[05:03.380]Got to run away again.
[05:05.130]
[05:09.940]Still I catch myself thinking,
[05:12.780]
[05:16.590]One day I'll find my way back here.
[05:19.100]
[05:24.300]You'll save me from drowning,
[05:26.650]
[05:27.340]Drowning in a river,
[05:31.840]
[05:33.900]Drowning in a river of tears.
[05:41.840]
[05:46.590]Drowning in a river.
[05:51.970]
[05:52.850]Feels like I'm drowning,
[05:55.409]
[05:59.350]Drowning in the river.
[06:01.590]
[06:04.340]Lord, how long must this go on
[06:07.650]
[06:54.150]Drowning in a river,
[06:56.800]
[07:00.570]Drowning in a river of tears.
