Richard Marx – Hazard lyrics

Richard Marx – Hazard 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 rumours 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 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 ...

I wrote the above reply and forgot to register, this is my answer again.
He didn't kill Mary. By being "Not Right" means to me that he was different to the other kids and more than likely he was Autistic. Autistic people Never lie, so he was telling the truth. When he says "he left her by the river" he is not changing his story, he is saying in not as many words, that the last time he saw her, he left her by the river. That boy is innocent.

He killed her, got caught, and then lamented on how bad his life is. The song says, no one cared until the night she went out walking alone. So he is saying he wasn't with her. Then he changes his story by saying he left her by the river safe and sound, so he was with her. Then he wants to make an escape, to the river.
