Thanks for watching.
My mother came to Hazzard when I was just seven.
Even then the folks in town said we're prejudiced.
Black boy's not right.
Three years ago when I came to know Mary.
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies.
Saw the man inside.
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 out walking all alone.
And never came home.
Man with a badge came knocking next morning.
He was eyes surrounded by a thousand figures suddenly.
Pointed right at me.
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 leave this old Nebraska town.
I think about my life gone by.
How it's done me wrong.
There's no escape for me this time.
All of my rescues are gone.
I swear I left her by the river.
I swear I left her safe and sound.
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 leave this old Nebraska town.
And leave her by the river.
And leave her by the river.
And leave her by the river.
