Mary and my Cadillac

Mary, was a wild child she liked  
to drink the booze, loved  hot rods
and driving real fast.
Yes, my girl enjoyed simple things  
like laying down in a field for some petting, or going to the County Fair.
 
The day was warm just like Mary  
we went to the fair, cruised around  
rode some rides.
 She wore a pretty yellow dress  
the kind that would blow up with
the breeze showing her pretty panties.
 
Mary liked to make out everywhere  
we went, so we drank some booze  
snuck out behind the concession
where I took off those pretty panties. After we satisfied each other for now anyways Mary she used the pegs to climb high on the light pole to hang  
her panties in the breeze.
I told you she was something  
 
Like I said  Mary liked to drive real  
fast,  singing to the radio,  she wasn't  
very good, but I liked everything about that girl.  
Wild carefree her freckles and green eyes made me forget about the world Mary was my world  
 
So check this we was cruising along passing the bottle, we Just passed marker 38 when things changed  
 
"Hold up one sec"  
'Uh excuse me man you got a light  
for my smoke?"  
"Huh guess he didn't hear me"  
 
Ok so I was tippin the bottle and didn't see the car coming  
That's all I remember pretty much except seeing Mary my sweet Mary  
She sure looked pretty laying there in her yellow dress my arm wrapped around her like we was in love .
 
Me? well like I said my arm wrapped around her like we was in love  
but my body,  clear over there  
 
Damn I  hoped all that blood washes out of Marys pretty yellow dress hate to see her cry Heck I'll just buy her another one
