Goodbye Marie

I woke up this mornin' all cotton mouthed from drinkin'
Wonderin' how I'd make it through the day
Wild eyed and crazy all burned out from thinkin'
Wonderin' how the hell I's gonna say

Goodbye Marie, oh goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' 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

Wakin' up beside you on a Tijuana mornin'
With that ocean breeze to keep us cool
Three weeks of lovin', 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
Thinkin' about the girl I left behind

So goodbye Marie, oh goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' 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
