River Of Tears (Live)

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
