Lyrics

Mary-Anne

Mary-Anne steps out the front door with a suitcase in her hands
and the clothes she can wear
He pulls up and she gets into his car
they drive away before her mother can say goodbye

She?s chasing a dream
of finding love
and she?d do anything for this boy
cause she knows he?s in love with her and she
she loves him too

two years have passed and Mary-Anne?s at work in a dinner
with her hair in a net and an apron around her waist
she thinks of the life she left behind and wonders if she should?ve stayed
but then she thinks of him and knows she do it all over again

everyone knows, we live and then we die
it?s no surprise to anyone
but it?s the way we live and dreams we chase
it?s the love we give and the love we take

Mary-Anne?s hair?s turning silver now with four grandkids
running through her house
he pulls and she goes out to meet him
he takes her in his arms cause her dream?s still coming true
