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 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 you've been gone

Feels like I'm drowning in a river
Drowning in a river of tears
Feels 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
Burn up wish and I gon' 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
And you'll save me from drowning

Drowning in a river (drowning)
I'm drowning in a river of tears
Drowning in a river
Feels like I'm drowning
Drowning in a river
Feels like I'm drowning
Lord, how long must this go on

I'm drowning in a river of tears
