"My mother came to Hazard when i was just seven". That's a great opening line for a song. Did she and her son move to the town of 'Hazard' when the son was seven, or did something happen to the mother, and the towns people think the son was responsable?.
I think it was the second one. It fit's with the tone of the song. But, that line just pull's me into the song. And, then, there's the mystery of what happened to Mary. He was, apparently, the last person to see her by the river, and now she was either missing or dead, either way, once again, he was being held responsible for poor Mary's fate.
Then there's the line "i have to make it to the river and leave this old Nebraska town". Is he just gonna leave the town on a boat, or some other way, or is he gonna commit suicide?.
Yes, i'm pretty obsessed with this song, but i love 'mysterious" song's ('Ode to Billie Joe' is another obsession) and i never get tired of listening to them. Ever.
