Hazard Songtext

von Richard Marx

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
Rumors and the lies
And saw the man inside

We used, to walk down by the river
She loved, to watch the sun goes 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 come 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 live 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
