Goodbye Marie

(album: Kenny - 1979)

I woke up this morning
All cotton mouthed from drinking
Wondering how I'd make it through the day
Wild eyed and crazy
All burned out from thinking
Wondering how the hell I's gonna say.

Goodbye Marie, oh goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway calling me
It was fun Marie, but I got to run Marie
If I can not keep your love
At least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie.

Waking up beside you
On a Tijuana morning
With that ocean breeze to keep us cool
Three weeks of loving
Twenty-one nights of heaven
I stayed just long enough to be your fool.

Oh goodbye Marie,
Por favor, pour me
One more tequila
I need all the courage I can find
This time tomorrow
I'll be back in Houston
Thinking about the girl I left behind.

So goodbye Marie,
