Mary Hot Lips Arizona

Mary Hot Lips Arizona - Albert Hammond

You came into town with your truck and your wardrobe

Your turquoise, your pills and the crew

Your cowboys, your playboys,

The studs and the gay boys

Your gals and your hairdresser, too

And you rented a small apartment,

And everyone settled in

Midst the pillows,

The beads and the stereo leads

And the ups and the downs in the gin

Oh Mary, oh Mary, the stars of the prairie

Still shine on your high stepping shining on your shoes

But those were the days, Mary,

Those were the days

When you side stepped the Hollywood blues

When the money ran low all your friends found excuses

The family soon fell apart

And you learned there's a limit to what you can do

When your purse ain't as big as your heart

But still you're blasting off somewhere

On something with somebody new

And nobody knows what he does,

Where he comes from, nobody, least of all you

Oh Mary, oh Mary, the stars of the prairie

Still shine on your high stepping shoes

But those were the days, Mary, those were the days

When you side stepped the Hollywood blues
