Sweet Mary-Lou

Eight inches of snow, it’s mayhem downtown

Just before noon, the meeting shuts down

All flights are cancelled, same at the Station

Only rental cars for transportation

But I so want to end the night

In your warm arms, hugging you tight

I’ll drive non-stop, to be with you

Before sunrise, Sweet Mary-Lou

Sweet Mary-Lou

Ten hours at the wheel, coffees and muffins

Through blowing snow they keep me going

On icy roads that are just like hell,

Reason would call for finding a motel

But I so want to end the night

In your warm arms, hugging you tight

I’ll drive non-stop, to be with you

Before sunrise, Sweet Mary-Lou

Sweet Mary-Lou

I make it home, just before breakfast

You chide me so, for being reckless

But your smile belies your words of reproach

As with open arms you gently approach

Oh, I’m so glad to end the night

In your warm arms, hugging you tight

What a tough drive, but I’m with you

Just at sunrise, Sweet Mary-Lou

Sweet Mary-Lou

Oh, I’m so glad to end the night

In your warm arms, hugging you tight

What a tough drive, but I’m with you

Just at sunrise, Sweet Mary-Lou

Sweet Mary-Lou
