Its 3 miles to the river
That would carry me away
And 2 miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on Today
Its 4 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 do I have to keep on running
Seven hours, Seven days or Seven years
All I know is since youve been gone
feels like Im drowning in a river
Drowning in a river of tears
Drowning in a river
Feels like I'm drowning
Drowning in a river
In 3 more days, I'll leave this town
And dissapear 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 in a river of tears
Drowning in a river
Feels like I'm drowning
Drowning in a river
Oh how long must this go on
Drowning in a river
Drowning in a river of tears
