I would have married

As I move along the roadway, the Los Angeles highway

I travel all alone, sometimes fast but mostly slow slow slow

And I think about you, I think about you

I met a girl named Mercedes, she was sweet and beautiful

She had a son, she could talk about him on and on

I just thought about you

I only thought about you

Of all the things you said you wanted to do

There was only one time when I wouldn't let you

Of all the things that you said you wanted to be

I remember the last thing you promised me

You said, "I... would have married... you"

When I first left you I was proud and dangerous

I was alive, I was alive and alone

I never thought about you, I never thought about you

Well it wasn't much later, I thought I woke up beside you

And I called out your name

But you were two thousand miles away

I cried about you, I cried about you

Of all the things you said you wanted to do

There was only one time when I wouldn't let you

Of all the things that you said you wanted to be

I remember the last thing you promised me

You said, "I... would have married... you"

I... would have married... you
