Mary's Song
She didn't miss a service any given Sunday
You always seemed to know how
To put a smile on everyone's face
She didn't drive her car real fast
Still they called her white lightning
These are all just some thoughts
From the past before I get to start crying
Dear Mary
I miss you and I wish you'd come back home
It's not the way this life works out
Now i'm feeling all alone
When you died that Wednesday morning
I died inside myself
We laid you in the grave that day
I laid my soul to rest
When I was a child
You always helped keep me in line
When my struggles came
You always knew how to ease my mind
Well I'm sorry that I only get to thinking
About you now from time to time
It's when I get to thinking, I always start to cry
Dear Mary
I miss you and I wish you'd come back home
It's not the way this life works out
Now I'm feeling all alone
When you died that Wednesday morning
I died inside myself
We laid you in the grave that day
I laid my soul to rest
The thoughts of you come like the wind
Your memory leaves me chilly
When I sit and reminisce
I always get stuck in my feelings
This one here is for all grandmas
Who've always loved grandchildren
This one here is Mary's song
Oh dear how I miss ya
Dear Mary
I miss you and I wish you would come home
It's not the way this life works out
Now I'm feeling all alone
When you died that Wednesday morning
I died inside myself
We laid you in the grave that day
I laid my soul to rest
I remember sitting there
On the edge of that bed
Holding your hands
Watching you take your last breaths
I had my guitar in my lap
And the tears fell on my strings
I couldn't sing, well I couldn't sing
Dear Mary
I miss you and I wish you would come home
It's not the way this life works out
Now i'm feeling all alone
When you died that Wednesday morning
I died inside myself
We laid you in the grave that day
I laid my soul to rest
You always seemed to know how
To put a smile on everyone's face
She didn't drive her car real fast
Still they called her white lightning
These are all just some thoughts
From the past before I get to start crying
Dear Mary
I miss you and I wish you'd come back home
It's not the way this life works out
Now i'm feeling all alone
When you died that Wednesday morning
I died inside myself
We laid you in the grave that day
I laid my soul to rest
When I was a child
You always helped keep me in line
When my struggles came
You always knew how to ease my mind
Well I'm sorry that I only get to thinking
About you now from time to time
It's when I get to thinking, I always start to cry
Dear Mary
I miss you and I wish you'd come back home
It's not the way this life works out
Now I'm feeling all alone
When you died that Wednesday morning
I died inside myself
We laid you in the grave that day
I laid my soul to rest
The thoughts of you come like the wind
Your memory leaves me chilly
When I sit and reminisce
I always get stuck in my feelings
This one here is for all grandmas
Who've always loved grandchildren
This one here is Mary's song
Oh dear how I miss ya
Dear Mary
I miss you and I wish you would come home
It's not the way this life works out
Now I'm feeling all alone
When you died that Wednesday morning
I died inside myself
We laid you in the grave that day
I laid my soul to rest
I remember sitting there
On the edge of that bed
Holding your hands
Watching you take your last breaths
I had my guitar in my lap
And the tears fell on my strings
I couldn't sing, well I couldn't sing
Dear Mary
I miss you and I wish you would come home
It's not the way this life works out
Now i'm feeling all alone
When you died that Wednesday morning
I died inside myself
We laid you in the grave that day
I laid my soul to rest
