Look At Mary
Rick Nelson · The Last Time Around 1970 - 1982 [2010]
Look at Mary
Comin' down the highway
Look at her run
Are you goin' my way?
Mary are you tryin' to find
A place to go, some peace of mind
Look at her run
Runnin', comin' undone.
She's trying to get her mind together
She'd be glad to
Be she couldn't tell you from me
If she had to.
Mary are you tryin' to find
A place to go, some peace of mind
Look at her run
Runnin', comin' undone.
Mary takes you
By the hand
She can tell
That you understand.
There she is
She's no where near together
'Cause the place she'd like to be
Is gone forever.
Look at Mary
Comin' down the highway
Look at her run
Are you goin' my way?
Mary are you tryin' to find
A place to go, some peace of mind
Look at her run
Runnin', comin' undone.
Mary take me by the hand
I can tell that you understand...
