Maria - Lucinda Williams

Maria, you’re still wild and restless

And I can just see ya ridin' in a rodeo

You might even make it down to Texas

Or you might head out west to New Mexico

So pack up all of your belongings

A pick-up will take you where you wanna go

You can ride out when you hear mountains calling

Out to Canada or the canyons of Colorado

New York City was always your home

But in your heart you know you were born to roam

And you’re gonna leave as soon as you get the money

After you sell everything you own

Maria, is loneliness a virtue?

Or does it steal you blind and leave you split apart?

Maria, can you give me an answer?

Are the songs we sing worth a broken heart?

The highway has always been your lover

And someday you may know his name

Wherever you stay, it wouldn’t really matter

'Cause all those cities start to look the same

Some folks will try to take your heart away

And just when you think you’ve really got it made

You wake up and find madness in the morning

But damn the pain and damn those restless days

Damn the pain and damn those restless days
