The shores are empty, the nights are cold
We'll keep on travellin' this four lane road
You know I carry this troublesome loathe
But Maria, you're out of my mind
Pity my heart belongs to another
The one I love, soon be a mother
So go home tonight to your sister and brother
Cuz Maria, you're out of my mind
Give back my beads and think of the night
Tell me a story as you drink your wine
We talk softly but the voice to the line
Maria, you're out of my mind
Cast your spell, sing us a song
So love's all you got but it came out wrong
And I save my penis and I move along
But Maria, you're out of my mind
I can never be with a woman so blue
The words came fast, means they're for you
Should I was bleedin', terribly true
Maria, you're out of my mind
This cold memory as warm how you plays
With your Cherokee eyes, your beautiful face
I say good night, disappear without a trace
Cuz Maria, you're out of my mind
I saw you there from across the room
With your cigarette as your sweet perfume
Saw a woman I'd've know in a whoresque costume
Maria, you're out of my mind
Remind me again, we'll never be lovers
I'll think of you here, from out of the covers
While the hero drinks fast I can surely recover
2x Maria, you're out of my mind
