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.
