Maria

in the town they had a rocking band
tried to take Maria's hand
didn't turn out the way I planned
and Maria took me for a ride

in the town they had a tunnel of love
two hands from up above
first came push and then came shove
and Maria took me for a ride
Maria took me for a ride

I said, Maria, way on down the track
I said, Maria, when are you coming back

in the town there was a liquor store
broken bottles all over the floor
they won't let me shop there anymore
since Maria took me for a ride

in the town there was a gallery
I asked if she would marry me
she told me that was a blasphemy,
and Maria took me for a ride
Maria took me for a ride

ch.

in the end she found another guy
I never stopped to wonder why
some trains just kinda pass you by
Maria took me for a ride (X4)

ch. (X3)
