WHILE LISTENING
Listen to the song and guess what happened.
HAZARD (Richard Marx)
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 the 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 out walking 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 and how it's done me wrong
There's no escape for me this time, all of my rescuers are gone, long gone
What do you think happened to Mary?
