I woke up this mornin' all cotton mouthed from drinkin'
Wonderin' how I'd make it through the day
Wild eyed and crazy all burnt out of thinkin'
Wonderin' how the hell I's gonna say

Oh goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway calling me
It's been fun Marie but I gotta run Marie
If I cannot keep your love at least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie

Oh wakin' up beside you in the Tijuana morning
With that ocean breeze to keep us cool
Oh three weeks of lovin' twenty one nights of heaven
I stayed just long enough to be your fool

Oh goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie...

Pour favor pour me one more tequila
I need all the courage I can find
Cause this time tomorrow I'll be back in Houston
Thinkin' about the girl I left behind

Oh goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie...
