The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh how I wish I was lyin' in the arms of Mary
She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh how I wish I was lyin' in the arms of Mary
CHORUS
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She out me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone
when I learned all she had to give
She really gave all a boy could take
So now when I get lonely
Still lookin for my one and only
That's when I wish was lyin' in
The Arms of Mary
(repeat chorus)
