Goodbye Marie

(album: I'm Countryfied - 1980)

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

Oh, goodbye Marie, oh, goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway calling me
It's been fun Marie, but I gotta run Marie
If I cannot keep your love at least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie

Oh, waking up beside you in the Tijuana morning
With that ocean breeze to keep us cool
Oh three weeks of loving twenty one nights of heaven
I stayed just long enough to be your fool

Oh, goodbye Marie, oh, goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway calling me
It's been fun Marie, but I gotta run Marie
If I cannot keep your love at least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie

Pour favor pour me one more tequila
I need all the courage I can find
Cause this time tomorrow I'll be back in Houston
Thinking about the girl I left behind

Oh, goodbye Marie, oh, goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway calling me
It's been fun Marie, but I gotta run Marie
If I cannot keep your love at least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie
