Mary Lou Nights - Ray Stevens

I got hurry up mornings, shower and shave

No time to feel alone

I got do my job daytimes, work like a slave

Don’t even know she’s gone

I got meetin' friends evenings over a beer

Laughing and talking, no sadness here

All too soon, they disappear

Guess it’s time for me to go home?

That’s when I miss those Mary Lou nights

That’s when I feel that emptiness as I turn out my lights

I try to sleep and dream about her as I fold my pillow tight

Oh, how I miss those Mary Lou nights

I found some little places I go to eat

They serve me home-cooked meals

There’s that great little laundry just down the street

We’ve made us a deal

I’m wearing clean shirts and I guess I’m well-fed

I don’t feel the hurt stayin' home instead of here

Except late at night when I turn down by bed

And I finally face how I feel

That’s when I miss those Mary Lou nights

That’s when I feel that emptiness as I turn out my lights

I try to sleep and dream about her as I fold my pillow tight

Oh, how I miss those Mary Lou nights

Oh, how I miss those Mary Lou nights
