I woke up this mornin'

All cotton mouthed from drinkin'

Wonderin' how I'd make it through the day-ay

Wild eyed and crazy

All burned out from thinkin'

Wonderin' how the hell I's gonna say



Goodbye Marie, oh goodbye Marie-ie

Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me

It was fun Marie, but I got to ru-un 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, oh goodbye Marie-ie

Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me

It was fun Marie, but I got to ru-un Marie

If I can not keep your love

At least I'll have your memory

Goodbye Marie



Por favor, pour me

One more tequila

I need all the courage I can fi-ind

This time tomorrow

I'll be back in Houston

Thinkin' about the girl I left behi-ind



So goodbye Marie, oh good Marie-ie

Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me

It was fun Marie and I got to ru-un Marie

If I can not keep your love

At least I'll have your memory

Goodbye Marie



Goodbye Marie, oh good Marie

Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me

It was fun Marie, but I got to ru-un Marie

If I can not keep your love

At least I'll have your memory

Goodbye Marie [fade]
