Lyrics
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 a half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace
Lord, how long have I gotta keep on running?
Seven hours, seven days or seven years
All I know is, since you've been gone
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 times 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)
Drowning in a river of tears
Drowning in a river
Feel like I'm drowning
Drowning in a river
Oh, how long must this go on?
Drowning (In a river, drowning)
Drowning
in a river of tears
