Mary Lou Nights - Ray Stevens

Harmonica solo
I got early up mornings, shower and shave. No time to feel alone. I got do my job daytimes work like a slave. Don't even notice she's gone. I got meet my friends evening's over a beer. Laughing and talking no sadness here. All too soon they disappear. Guess it's time for me to go home?
CHORUS:
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.
Harmonica solo
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.
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh how i miss those Mary Lou Nights.
