Testi Mary Lou Nights - Ray Stevens

Mary Lou Nights

I got hurry up mornings, shower and shave
No time to feel alone
I got do my job daytimes, work like a slave
Don’t even know she’s gone
I got meetin' friends evenings over a beer
Laughing and talking, no sadness here
All too soon, they disappear
Guess it’s time for me to go home?
That’s when I miss those Mary Lou nights
That’s when I feel that emptiness as I turn out my lights
I try to sleep and dream about her as I fold my pillow tight
Oh, how I miss those Mary Lou nights
I found some little places I go to eat
They serve me home-cooked meals
There’s that great little laundry just down the street
We’ve made us a deal
I’m wearing clean shirts and I guess I’m well-fed
I don’t feel the hurt stayin' home instead of here
Except late at night when I turn down by bed
And I finally face how I feel
That’s when I miss those Mary Lou nights
That’s when I feel that emptiness as I turn out my lights
I try to sleep and dream about her as I fold my pillow tight
Oh, how I miss those Mary Lou nights
Oh, how I miss those Mary Lou nights
