My mother came to Hazzard
when I was just seven.
Even then the folks in town.
They said the prejudiced dies.
That boys not right.
Three years ago when I came to know mary.
First time that someone looked behind the rumours
and lies, and saw the man inside.

(chorus)
We used to walk down by the river.
She loved to watch the sun go 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 a walking
all alone and never came home.
Man with a badge came knocking next morning,
here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers
suddenly pointed right at me.

(chorus)
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 be the
soul the grass cut down.

I think about my life gone by and how
its done me wrong.
Theres no escape for me this time,
all of my rescues have gone.
No, oh, no.

(chorus)
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 be the
soul the grass cut down.
