Lyrics Kenny Rogers

Kenny Rogers

Goodbye Marie

I woke up this mornin'

All cotton- mouthed from drinkin'

Wonderin' how I'd make it through the day

Wild eyed and crazy

All burned out from thinkin'

Wonderin' how the hell I's gonna say.

Goodbye Marie, oh goodbye Marie

Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me

It was fun Marie, but I got to run Marie

If I can not keep your love

At least I'll have your memory

Goodbye Marie.

Wakin' up beside you

On a Tijuana mornin'

With that ocean breeze to keep us cool

Three weeks of lovin'

Twenty-one nights of heaven

I stayed just long enough to be your fool.

Oh goodbye Marie,

Por favor, pour me

One more tequila

I need all the courage I can find

This time tomorrow

I'll be back in Houston

Thinkin' about the girl I left behind.

So goodbye Marie,
