Lyrics

[00:01.00] She lived on a curve in the road, in an old, tar-paper shack
[00:08.00] On the south side of the town, on the wrong side of the tracks
[00:16.00] Sometimes on the way into town we'd say:
[00:18.00] 'Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?'
[00:22.00] Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side
[00:29.00] Wild eyed, crazy Mary
[00:51.00] Down a long dirt road, past the Parson's place
[00:58.00] That old blue car we used to race
[01:05.00] Little country store with a sign tacked to the side
[01:10.00] Said 'No L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G Allowed'
[01:19.00] Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd
[01:25.00] Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
[01:32.00] Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
[01:39.00] Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
[01:50.00] One night thunder cracked, mercy backed outside her windowsill
[01:57.00] Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills
[02:03.00] Looked down into the house of Mary
[02:11.00] Terrible thoughts, newspaper-covered walls, and Mary rising up above it all
[03:03.00] Next morning on the way into town
[03:06.00] Saw some skid marks and followed them around
[03:10.00] Over the curve, through the fields, into the house of Mary
[03:19.00] That what you fear the most, could meet you halfway
[03:26.00] That what you fear the most, could meet you halfway
[03:34.00] Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
[03:41.00] Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
[03:47.00] Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
