Mary's Song Lyrics

She didn't miss a service any given Sunday

You always seemed to know how to put a smile on everyone's face

She didn't drive her car real fast, still they called her White Lightning

These are all just some thoughts from the past, before I get to start crying

Dear Mary, I miss you and I wish you'd come back home

It's not the way this life works out now, I'm feeling all alone

When you died that Wednesday morning, I died inside myself

We laid you in the grave that day, I laid my soul to rest

When I was a child, you always helped keep me in line

When my struggles came, you always knew how to ease my mind

Well, I'm sorry that I only get to thinking about you now from time to time

It's when I get to thinking, I always start to cry

Dear Mary, I miss you and I wish you'd come back home

It's not the way this life works out now I'm feeling all alone

When you died that Wednesday morning, I died inside myself

We laid you in the grave that day, I laid my soul to rest

The thoughts of you come like the wind, your memory leaves me chilly

When I sit and reminisce, I always get stuck in my feelings

This one here is for all grandmas who've always loved grandchildren

This one here is Mary's song, oh Dear how I miss ya

Dear Mary, I miss you and I wish you would come home

It's not the way this life works out now I'm feeling all alone

When you died that Wednesday morning, I died inside myself

We laid you in the grave that day, I laid my soul to rest

I remember sitting there on the Edge of that bed

Holding your hands, watching you Take your last breaths

Had my guitar in my lap and the tears fell on my strings

I couldn't sing, well I couldn't sing

Dear Mary, I miss you and I wish you would come home

It's not the way this life works out now, I'm feeling all alone

When you died that Wednesday morning, I died inside myself

We laid you in the grave that day, I laid my soul to rest
