Goodbye, Maria Lyrics
[Chorus]
Goodbye, Maria
Goodbye from our honeymoon room
Goodbye, Maria
Goodbye from this flowery room
You know you were my first love
The only one I found
But you couldn't stand me so
You outran me and
Shot my poor heart down
[Verse 1]
While I write this letter
From room number thirty nine
It's where we spent our first night
Since then I've been so blind
I knew that there were others
But you didn't have to say their name
Now I'm leaving forev'r
From the Sunset Motel
'Cause I just can't stand the pain
[Chorus]
Goodbye, Maria
Goodbye from our honeymoon room
Goodbye, Maria
Goodbye from this flowery room
You know you were my first love
The only one I found
But you couldn't stand me so
You outran me and
Shot my poor heart down
[Bridge]
I've driven through the night, dear
Been weepin' at the wheel
That neon sunset in the sky
All seems so surreal
Now my finger's on the trigger
The barrel's in my mouth
When I see your eyes then I
Realize that I
Didn't even count
Woah!
[Chorus]
Goodbye, Maria
Goodbye from our honeymoon room
Goodbye, Maria
Goodbye from this flowery room
You know you were my first love
The only one I found
But you couldn't stand me so
You outran me and
Shot my poor heart down
