Hazard Lyrics

	"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 ...

	 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 ..."       HAZARD : Richard Marx
