*Greg Tannen*: Listen To Music

Mary

(from the album "Roam" - 2:00 sample)

Greg Tannen
A light goes out
she steals down the stairs
a shy little smile at the door
fresh like a breeze new like a toy
she wants the windows down to hear the car roar
summer's drive
saints alive
fading fast
long white dress it's a little test
that we ain't gonna pass

Chorus:
Don't have anything left to say
when all the nights
were leading this way
hold on tight to me
Mary

She gets so tired of the motel job
there's any place that she'd rather be
so we drive so fast that the walls start to shake
and the local cops can't even check our speed
lean on out
scream and shout
to myself
in this whole big blue it's just me and you
and there ain't no one else

Chorus.

Bridge:
Come on just once just take a chance
on me on life on romance
I want a night that lasts all night
I want you framed in starlight
to hell with them damn them all
tonight we're going to fall

State line left far behind
with all the fools who always said
you shouldn't want too much
so we take the road as far as it will go
to get a little something that the world can't touch
dashboard lights
set our sights
way up high
in this whole big blue it's just me and you
if only for a while

Chorus.
