Lyrics to Marie
If I had money, I would buy you a car
Cadillac that glows in the light of the stars
On the freeway
After that what we'll do is burn down the house
Dance around the fire till the flames burn out
Cuss the next day

Oh, Marie, hold these songs in your arms
Because, Marie, it's all that you'll have when I'm gone

On the fence looking over greener grass
If I ever had something it was in the past
And I left it
But I got my daddy's guitar, American flag
Stories, melodies, and the chances I had
To replace it

Oh, Marie, hold these songs in your arms
Because, Marie, it's all that you'll have when I'm gone

Baby's got money 'cause she went to school
Everyone knows if the breeze is cool
Seasons changing
I'm gonna swing on a guitar string
Hold down the water of a blue-green sea
Rearranging

Oh, Marie, hold these songs in your arms
Because, Marie, it's all that you'll have when I'm gone
Oh, Marie, hold these songs in your arms
Because, Marie, it's all that you'll have when I'm gone
