[Verse 1]
Oh, I can't explain the reason why
The almond lady caught my eye
Well, I don't even know why I try
Just call it sweet mystery

[Verse 2]
Oh, and I don't even know if it's really me
Who tried to see the girl I wanted you to be
So I taste these tears from my eyes
With salty sweet mystery

[Bridge]
Sad lights along the Houston highway
Another man dead from the truckin' game
The very first night you disillusioned my way
Another love dies, and it's such a crying shame

[Verse 3]
Oh darlin', I'm feeling the rain fallin' from the stormy skies
When you say you love me, you got tears in your eyes, whoa
I guess there's no need to say goodbye
It was such a sweet mystery
