Oh Hank Maria
|
Oh Hank Marie
|
Oh Hank Maria Oh you married me
|
Married me tonight
|
|
My pickup broke in Colfax My pickup got a flat
|
I guess it must've been destiny
|
that this, would come outta that
|
|
Met her in a smoky bar
|
where I tried to get a tow
|
she had a pretty little waitress get up on,
|
with a pretty little bow
|
|
she was working late that night
|
pouring drinks for the boys at the bar
|
then she was nice to me and helped me fix my flat tar (tire)
|
|
Took me to her parents house
|
took me to meet her old man
|
he just took one look at me and said, son grab some beers outta the frig and hang with me if you can
|
|
Postman started the rumor
|
told all the ladies in town
|
Maria had a new man, some tall freaky looking clown
|
|
Then I fell in love with her
|
she took my heart and my soul
|
I promised her forever underneath the Codger Pole
|
|
Pretty soon my pickup truck was fixed
|
I was back on the road
|
but my little heart was empty, carrying a heavy load
|
|
I needed my Maria
|
needed her by my side
|
so I swore I was gonna marry her and take her back to my double wide
|
|
So I did me a U-turn
|
in the parking lot of the Wheat N Barley
|
I ran back to Hank Marie, & said honey yer pretty gnarley
|
|
I was yelling I love you baby
|
I love you forever more
|
I was screamin' so loud and crazy, I broke down her front door
|
|
She came out in her overalls
|
gave me a big fat hug
|
and offered me a root beer in an icy frosty mug
|
|
So, there we sat on her porch
|
mappin' out our life
|
I'm gonna be her man, she's gonna be my wife
|
|
So, there you have it, that's the truth
|
tonight we're startin' our life
|
I'm gonna be her man, she's gonna be my wife
|
|
