Lyrics - Maria by Barrett Dave

Hey
Maria, where are ya goin
Put down the suitcase and please bolt the door
Children play'n oh can ya hear 'em
Their calling your name from outside the corridor.
Hey
Maria, you know what
I'm here for
Didn't bring no ladder, ain't down on my knee
Come and take my hand now,
Maria
And just say you'll run away with me
So come on little
Maria
We're two bush leaguers on the attack
I'm an ugly
Casanova
With a chip on my shoulder
And there ain't no turning back
Hey
Maria, there's your
Daddy
Look's like he's collecting our bail
He doesn't think we'll make it to
Wisconsin
His big hope is that we'll land in jail.
Hey
Maria, look out the window
Come on now and tell me what ya see
Cops are book'n and the pimps they are hook'n
This ain't no place for you and me.
So come on little
Maria
We're to bush leaguers on the attack
We're just two
Casanovas
With a chip on our shoulder
And there ain't no turning back
Now someday
Maria, you and
IWe'll find ourselves on our own.
And
I might me making minimum wage
In some bar room minstrel show
And then someday we'll own it
Like
I said we always would
Remember how we were talk'n on the top of my car hood.
Hey
Maria, it's time to go now
Pack up your suitcase, throw in some of my clothes.
Look at the
Dukes, they are standing on
Ashland
Their wiping the eyes and blow'n they nose.
Hey
Maria, we'll come back soon
And we'll stand on our own wealth and fame
Maybe we'll come back and get your
Daddy
If the guy will just remember my name.
So come on little
Maria
We're two bush leaguers on the attack.
We're just two bosanovas
With chips on our shoulders
And there ain't no turning back.
