Marie Marie Playing guitar on the back porch I sit in my car Why is she so sad Marie Marie Marie Marie It's so lonely in these farmlands Please come with me To the bright lights downtown Marie Marie I said, "Hey, pretty girl Don't you understand I just want to be your loving man" Marie Marie The sun is down in the corn fields The evening is dark And you sing so sad Marie Marie Marie Marie I got two weeks in back pay There's gas in my car And your folks say I must go Marie Marie I said, "Hey, pretty girl Don't you understand I just want to be your loving man" Marie Marie Playing guitar on the back porch I leave in my car While you sing so sad Marie Marie

Well, it's a howl from the deserts, a scream from the slums The Mississippi rollin' to the beat of the drums They wanna hear some American music American music They wanna hear that sound right from the U.S.A.

Well, a US soldier boy has to stop right in his tracks When he hears that crazy beat, he turns and doubles back Because they're playing American music, American music The whole world digs that sound from the U.S.A.

Waitin' in an all night cafe Drunk half out of my mind Down to my last cigarette Tryin' to kill some time I don't know why I do it Spend a day at another girl's place She knew that when I open the door She could see by the look on my face Waitin' for me, she's waitin' for me No other girl could take it Another girl 'd just give in Another girl 'd throw out on the street No other girl would take me back again A chapman takes his hat off He likes his coffee black Soon I'll have to face the fact She knows that I'll be back The bus boy speaks in Spanish The waitress checks her hair I been so many nights on the town She'll always be there Waitin' for me, she's waitin' for me No other girl could take it Another girl 'd just give in Another girl 'd throw out on the street No other girl would take me back again Waitin' for me, she's waitin' for me No other girl could take it Another girl 'd just give in Another girl 'd throw out on the street No other girl would take me back again I don't know why I do it Some day she might be gone I buy a new pack of cigarettes I've been in this joint along Waitin' for me, she's waitin' for me No other girl could take it Another girl 'd just give in Another girl 'd throw out on the street No other girl would take me back again No other girl would take me back again No other girl would take me back again
