[Verse 1]
Been on a barbed wire highway forty days and nights
I ain't complaining, it's my job and it suits me right
I got a sweet soft fever rushing around my head
I'm gonna sleep tonight in Maria's bed
[Verse 2]
Got on a dead man's suit and a smiling skull ring
Lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing
I keep my heart in my work, my troubles in my head
And I keep my soul in Maria's bed
[Refrain]
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
[Verse 3]
I been up on sugar mountain, 'cross the sweet blue sea
I walked the valley of love and tears and mystery
I got run out'a luck and gave myself up for dead
And I drank the cool clear waters from Maria's bed
[Refrain]
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
[Verse 4]
She gave me candy stick kisses 'neath a wolf-dog moon
One sweet breath and she'll take you, mister, to the upper room
I was burned by the angels, sold wings of lead
Then I fell in the roses and sweet salvation of Maria's bed
[Verse 5]
I been out in the desert, yeah, doing my time
Sifting through the dust for fool's gold, looking for a sign
Holy man said "Hold on, brother, there's a light up ahead"
Ain't nothing like a light that shines on me in Maria's bed
[Outro]
Well I'll take my blessings at the riverhead
I'm living in the light of Maria's bed
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
