Hail Mary

(album: Detroit Stories - 2021)

Every day, around this time
A little vision of religion comes walking by
She kind of motivates, and Lordy what she shakes
Is more than we're prepared to take

Hail Mary, full of Grace
Hail Mary, whatcha doing in this place?
Hail Mary, oh baby, you're divine
Hail Mary, Hail Mary wanna make you mine

We sit and drink and philosophize
Why's the devil doing business in her angel eyes
We're so high we could fly, when she floats 'round
And the sun finally comes to this God forsaken town!

Hail Mary, full of Grace
Hail Mary, oh, whatcha doing in this place?
Hail Mary, oh baby, you're divine
Hail Mary, Hail Mary gonna make you mine

I'm dumb, but even losers sometimes win
And they say that if she looks your way
She just might let you in

Here she comes and there she goes
We're captured in the rapture of her afterglow
She raises up the flag on the glory pole
She lifts my spirits and my soul

Hail Mary, full of Grace
Hail Mary, oh, whatcha doing in this place?
Hail Mary, oh baby, you're so fine
Hail Mary, some day I'm gonna make you mine
Hail Mary
