My sweet Maria, youve probably seen her, sitting at the end of the bar.
Surrounded by friends, drunk when she walks in.
She stumbles to her seat and downs a shot.
A drunken advocate for the southern rock flagship, she mellows out to a country song.
And if you see her, please tell Maria, that I will be back in the fall.
She loved him so but she could not let go, of all the years spent with him.
All the times we danced, in a drunken trance, and slide across a checkerboard kitchen floor.
But she was never mine, and I learned this with time, so maybe, just maybe ill be fine.
And if you see her, please tell Maria, that I will be back in the fall.
I heard that they found her, lying on the ground there, in the alley-way behind the bar.
Someone had taken everything she owned, and left her lying there all alone.
But I know that she'd say," it is all okay", her heart had been stolen anyway.
So if you see her, please tell Maria, that I wont be back, after all.
