I'm drivin' down this old dirt road, beneath a midnight sky,
The radio's low, and the wind just sighs, as the miles roll by.
There's a lonesome moon, hangin' high and blue,
And I can't stop thinkin', oh Mary Lou, oh Mary Lou.
Oh Mary Lou, where are you, where are you?
I've been searchin' these highways, since we said goodbye.
Oh Mary Lou, where are you, where are you?
My heart's lost in the dark, and I can't find the light.
The headlights cut the shadows, on this empty stretch of road,
But no matter how far I drive, I can't shake the load.
We had our plans, we had our dreams, but they slipped away so soon,
Now I'm chasin' your memory, under this pale southern moon.
Oh Mary Lou, where are you, where are you?
I've been searchin' these highways, since we said goodbye.
Oh Mary Lou, where are you, where are you?
My heart's lost in the dark, and I can't find the light.
Maybe you're out there, with someone new,
But baby, my heart's still stuck on you.
I keep on drivin', hopin' I'll see,
That smile you used to save for me.
Oh Mary Lou, where are you, where are you?
I've been searchin' these highways, since we said goodbye.
Oh Mary Lou, where are you, where are you?
My heart's lost in the dark, and I can't find the light.
The road keeps on windin', but you're nowhere in sight,
I'll drive through the night, just to make it feel right.
Oh Mary Lou, where are you, where are you?
I'll be callin' your name, 'til the day comes through.
