VERSE 1
Am C G D
I GOT A LETTER FROM MARIA, YOU KNOW HER ENGLISH AIN’T THAT GOOD
Am C G
BUT WHAT SHE MEANT WAS EASILY UNDERSTOOD
Am C G D
IF I’M GONNA KEEP HER, I BETTER GET THERE QUICK
Am C G
THE THOUGHT OF HER WITH SOMEBODY ELSE JUST MAKES ME SICK
CHORUS
C G
I NEVER DROVE TWO DAYS THROUGH THE POURING RAIN
D Am
JUST STOPPING FOR COFFEE AND GAS
C G
NEVER OUTRUN THE LAW ON THE INTERSTATE
D Am
DIDN'T KNOW THIS THING’D GO THAT FAST
C G
I’VE NEVER BEEN IN THIS DEEP BEFORE,
Am Em
BUT THERE’S ALWAYS A FIRST TIME
C D Am
THEN AGAIN, I’VE NEVER BEEN THE JEALOUS KIND.
VERSE 2
Am C G D
BLUE LIGHTS IN THE MIRROR, BLUE LIGHTS IN MY WAY
Am C G
BUT STILL ALL I SEE IS HER PRETTY FACE
Am C D Am
WHEN THEY GIVE ME THAT ONE PHONE CALL, I KNOW WHAT IT'S GONNA BE
Am C G
MARIA WILL YOU WAIT ONE MORE DAY FOR ME
REPEAT CHORUS 2 X
