the lights shine down the valley
the wind blows up the alley
oh how i wish i was lying in the arms of mary
she took the pains of boyhood
and turned them into feel good
oh how i wish i was lying in the arms of mary
mary was the girl who taught me all i had to know,
she put me right on my first mistake
summer wasn't gone when i'd learned all she had to show
she really gave all a boy could take
so now when i feel lonely
still looking for the one and only
that's when i wish i was lying in the arms of mary
so now when i feel lonely
still looking for the one and only
that's when i wish i was lying in the arms of mary
mary was the girl who taught me all i had to know
she put me right on my first mistake
summer wasn't gone when i'd learned all she had to show
she really gave all a boy could take
the lights shine down the valley
the wind blows up the alley
oh how i wish i was lying in the arms of mary
lying in the arms of mary
lying in the arms of mary
lying in the arms of mary
lying in the arms of mary
