lyrics

Mary


Mary left town a long long time ago
Where she went to I never did know
Now I don’t get nothin’ but cold driving rain
When I take a walk down memory lane

And the wind it blows hard down the street these days
Ain’t nothin’ but curtains and locks on the gates
And I miss her hands at the wheel on the way
Down the road to her place at the end of the day

You wanna stay for a while have a drink
With eyes that said more than her mouth ever did
And I miss her hands at the wheel on the way
Down the road to her place at the end of the day

And the wind it blows hard down the street these days
Ain’t nothin’ but curtains and locks on the gates
See Mary left town a long time ago
Where she went to I never did know
The day that she left I got drunk fought and swore
Felt my heart sink and go right through the floor
Kicked a hole clear through the publican’s door
And busted a window at the company store
Walked 15 miles through the cold drivin rain
And slept on her porch

See Mary left town a long long time ago
Where she went to I never did know
