Maria

Maria, you're still wild and restless And I can just see ya ridin' in a rodeo You might even make it down to Texas Or you might head out west to New Mexico So pack up all of your belongings A pick-up will take you where you want to go You can ride out when you hear mountains calling Out to Canada or the canyons of Colorado New York City was always your home But in your heart you know you were born to roam And you're gonna leave as soon as you get the money After you sell everything you own Maria, is loneliness a virtue Or does it steal you blind and leave you split apart Maria, can you give me an answer Are the songs we sing worth the broken heart The highway has always been your lover And someday you may know his name Wherever you stay it wouldn't really matter 'Cause all those cities start to look the same Some folks will try to take your heart away And just when you think you've really got it made You wake up and find madness in the morning But damn the pain and damn those restless days Damn the pain and damn those restless days --- Maria - Lucinda Williams
