Mary
moved in in the summer
For eight months we lived as man and wife
We had our fair share of trouble
She'd lost her kids
and I'd been left with mine
I guess that's all it was
Just beats by the same time
And when you lose your way,
you reach for something to believe in
She was working as a waitress,
down there at the rail street
I was out of working skin,
trying to find my way back
The second time around,
we were gonna make it
The second time around
The second time around,
no one was gonna stop us,
the second time around.
That afternoon we were restless,
we sitting around watching
some TV show.
Just on the spur of the moment,
we decided to leave things
where they sat and go.
Just pack a suitcase,
leave it all behind us.
Try making a stop in some place
where the best can't find us.
I got us a good car,
found it parked up on the side street.
Crossed the ignition wires,
kicked it in the first gear.
The second time around,
we were gonna make it.
The second time around
The second time around
The one that's gonna stop us
The second time around
It felt like a whole new beginning,
running those windows up
and down all day,
my daughter laughing in the backseat,
Mary telling jokes
and acting in a crazy way
Her face all lit up, God it made me shiver
While my daughter slept we parted,
caught down by the river
And we made love in the open,
lying in the shade
And when I closed my eyes
it seemed like the end of the rainbow
The second time around,
we were gonna make it
The second time around
The second time around
No one was gonna stop us
The second time around
The second time around
It's the second time around
The second time around
It's the second time around
Second time around
Second time, second time
Second time, second
Second time around second time
Second time, second time
Second time around
Second time around
Second time
The second time around
The second time around
The
The second time around
The second time around
second time around
The second time
second time around
The second time around
The second time around
The second around
The second around
You're so good to me.
