[02:01.35]It's three miles to the river
[02:07.59]That would carry me away
[02:13.41]And two miles to the dusty street
[02:15.36]That I saw you on today
[02:26.37]It's four miles to my lonely room
[02:32.73]Where I'm going to hide my face
[02:37.95]And about half a mile to the downtown bar
[02:44.70]That I ran from in disgrace
[02:46.65]Chorus
[02:50.64]Lord, how long have I got to keep on running
[02:55.98]Seven hours, seven days or seven years
[03:02.58]All I know is, since you've been gone
[03:04.80]Feel like I'm drowning in a river
[03:07.29]Drowning in a river of tears
[03:08.07]Drowning in a river
[03:10.17]Feel like I'm drowning
[03:26.70]Drowning in a river
[03:39.09]Verse 2
[04:10.62]In three more days, I'll leave this town
[04:16.53]And disappear without a trace
[04:18.15]A year from now, maybe settle down
[04:29.64]Where no one knows my face
[04:36.21]I wish that I could hold you
[04:41.88]One more time to ease the pain
[04:47.55]But my time's run out and I got to go
[04:53.19]Got to run away again
[04:54.69]Chorus
[04:59.64]Still I catch myself thinking
[05:06.24]One day I'll find my way back here
[05:11.76]You'll save me from drowning
[05:13.56]Drowning in a river
[05:28.29]Drowning in a river of tears
[05:51.93]Drowning in a river
[05:52.35]Feel like I'm drowning
[06:53.82]Drowning in a river
[07:57.81]Lord, how long must it go on
[08:00.03]Drowning
[08:00.27]Drowning
[08:00.45]Drowning in a river of tears

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'm going to hide my face
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace
Chorus
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
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
Verse 2
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
Chorus
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
Feel like I'm drowning
Drowning in a river
Lord, how long must it go on
Drowning
Drowning
Drowning in a river of tears
