River of Tears

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?
