Marylou

[VERSE 1]

I had to come to terms with my past
Let go of all my baggage
To meet you in the here and now
And ride off into the sunset
With you there by my side
And yet . . .

I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks
Now I won’t be turning back
Won’t be no markers on my grave here
‘Cause I’ll not come this way again

[CHORUS]

Marylou, what’d you do
Why’d you go and marry him
I may not have his pedigree
But no one loves you more than me

[VERSE 2]

Been down so long I couldn’t see the ground
Didn’t know which way to turn
Saw you at the county fair
Ain’t been the same man since

Put all my hopes and dreams in you
And I know you loved me too
But those tracks without a train
Kept dividing me and you

[CHORUS]

Marylou, what’d you do
Why’d you go and marry him
I may not have his pedigree
But no one loves you more than me

[BRIDGE]

I didn’t think I had much chance
Till you smiled and held my hand
Told me I was all you needed
I started to believe that
The train track didn’t matter
And I could grow accustomed to
High society if you were close to me

I didn’t think I had much chance
Till you smiled and held my hand
Told me I was all you needed
I started to believe that
The train track didn’t matter
And I could grow accustomed to
High society if you were close to me

[CHORUS]

Marylou, what’d you do
Why’d you go and marry him
I may not have his pedigree
But no one loves you more than me

Marylou, what’d you do
Why’d you go and marry him
I may not have his pedigree
But no one loves you more than me
