Dad's got Steve Miller band jammin' out in his garage
Every early morning,
I'd be kicked up across the yard
With the sugar so sweet in a juice box,
her favorite wild cherry
You know me,
just waitin' on Mary
She wouldn't like the other kids hangin' in the neighborhood
She wanted to see the world,
and so she said we should
Sneak off down Hampton Drive with all the candy we could carry
You know me, chasin' after Mary
My first taste of love before I learned to live it
My first taste of love before I learned to give it
I'll still be dreamin' about that girl
when I'm dead and buried You know me,
just waitin' on Mary
Had a swing in my backyard,
but Mary wouldn't swing with me She'd run up the hill with the dogs,
wantin' me to play family
I was a man and it was my job,
bringin' home blackberries
You know me,
takin' care of Mary We couldn't grow up fast enough,
Mary got
herself a car Friday nights in the backseat,
takin' things
a little too far
Test drivin', her kiss is on me, a little
thrilling,
a little scary You know me,
cruisin' with Mary
My first taste of love before I learned to live it
My first taste of love before I learned to give it
I'll still be dreamin' about that girl when I'm dead and buried
You know me,
waitin' on Mary
Blew that down to turn into the somebody she said I'd be
But I'm still lookin' for that girl in every face I see
Somethin's missin',
simple and true,
sweet as wild cherry
You know me, just waitin' on Mary
My first taste of love before I learned to live it
My first taste of love before I learned to give it
I'll still be dreamin' about that girl
when I'm dead and buried You know me,
oh you know me
Just waitin' on Mary Yeah,
waitin' on Mary
Waitin' on Mary Waitin' on Mary
Oh, oh, oh
