[Verse 1]
I woke up this mornin' all cotton mouthed from drinkin'
Wonderin' how I'd make it through the day
Wild eyed and crazy all burnt out from thinkin'
Wonderin' how the hell I'm gonna say

[Chorus]
Goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me
It's been fun Marie but I gotta run Marie
If I cannot keep your love at least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie

[Verse 2]
Wakin' up beside you in the Tijuana morning
With that ocean breeze to keep us cool
Three weeks of lovin' twenty one nights of heaven
I stayed long enough to be your fool

[Chorus]
Goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me
It's been fun Marie but I gotta run Marie
If I cannot keep your love at least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie

[Verse 3]
Por favor pour me one more tequila
I need all the courage I can find
'Cause this time tomorrow I'll be back in Houston
Thinkin' about the girl I left behind

[Chorus]
So goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me
It's been fun Marie but I gotta run Marie
If I cannot keep your love at least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me
It's been fun Marie but I gotta run Marie
If I cannot keep your love at least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me
It's been fun Marie but I gotta run Marie
If I cannot keep your love at least I'll have your
