Been a year since I saw Mary, When she said goodbye She cast a spell on my intentions Oh that's the reason why, Taking my thoughts from my bottle lately Breaking them up in my mind, All of my thoughts they don't look pretty, Oh, to my surprise
It's so hard (hard) To what you're given And it's hard (hard) To give what you got
After the love goes, Here I go, There's no easy road
Well the bright lights of Memphis Sounds like a real good time But I lost my heart and the money Flowed oh like cherry wine, So I don't remember the church bells ringing, Through day or night, I kept my soul on my own Not without a fight
It's so hard (hard) To take what you're given, And it's so hard (hard) To give what you got
After the love goes, Here I go There's no easy road After the love goes, Here I go There's no easy
Been a since I last saw Mary, Wipe a tearful eye, Well I remember I first heard Mary Say her last goodbye, Breaking it up from my bottle lately, Making it up in my mind, All of my problems, they don't look Ooh that's the bottom line:
It's so hard (hard) To take what you're given, And it's so hard (hard) To give what you got
After the love goes, Here I go, There's no easy road
After the love goes, There's no road, Mama There's no easy Cause we can go when I say After the love goes, Here I go, There's no easy road Now there's no easy, easy road
