Mary Lee

Whenever I look out the window, I see her leave Whenever I sleep on the pillow, I hear her breathe Whenever I look back, I can't believe, What a stupid, drunk boy I was to let Mary leave Trade blows with the foes, too young and I grow This skin just doesn't fit me Too many souls have lost their hold on reality wearing these So I took a pinch of my Ma, pinch of my Pa and measured my own body and now I got a suit of class, made to last, off a man off street La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la We're thick as thieves, hearts on sleeves, searching for memories Blowing off steam, just seventeen, forgetting where we've been So I took a tip from my Ma, tip from my Pa, and walked around my dreams Found me in a car, driving far from the places that I've seen Whenever I look out the window, I see her leave Whenever I sleep on the pillow, I hear her breathe Whenever I look back, I can't believe, What a stupid, drunk boy I was to let Mary leave Mary Lee, Mary Lee, Mary Lee
