It's three miles
to the river
That would carry me away,
And two miles
to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.
It's four miles
to my lonely room
Where I will hide my face,
And about half a mile
to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.
Lord,
how long have I got
to keep on running,
Seven hours,
seven days or
seven years?
All I know is,
since you've been gone
I feel like I'm drowning
in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feel like I'm drowning,
Drowning in a river.
In three more days,
I'll leave this town
And disappear without a trace.
A year from now,
maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.
I wish that I
could hold you
One more time
to ease the pain,
But my time's run out
and I got to go,
Got to run away again.
Still I catch myself thinking,
One day I'll find
my way back here.
You'll save me from drowning,
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feels like I'm drowning,
Drowning in the river.
Lord,
how long must this go on?
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
