Song lyrics
My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes
That boy's not right
Three years ago when I came to know Mary
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and lies
And 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 awalking 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

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 its done me wrong
There's no escape for me this time
All of my rescues are gone
Long gone

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

Are you really sure? That's terrible...! Really. Well - anyway, I certainly agree with you.
It's a very sad song but as they say; "Sad songs say so much". You think?


I just LOVE Richard Marx, and this song's really one of the best he's ever made.

Luv ya all!

This song is based on a kidnapping in Hazard, NE. and no this song is not about Richy, its about her. The city its self is very small, why even bother writing a song about it? well anyway, i love this song.

I lied, i just found out, on the formor Johhy Carson show, Richard said that the song is fictional, so dont worry, but there is a town in Nebraska called Hazard with 60 something people in it.

Indeed, this song is based on a true story. Here's the official website of Hazard, NE: http://www.nctc.net/~hazard/.
