Hey Mary are you still waiting? Has your "thunder road" come along and gone and left you praying? Your so called friends and the stories they tell Don't really seem to fit you all that well And anyway, all I need to believe in now is you Hey Mary, can you feel it? All the easy eyes upon you as you walk by We're all just sinners living for the fall I once read Him on the subway wall It said some day that little boy of yours Is going to save the world And I believe it's true We can waste a lifetime waiting For a time to live or a time to die Either way I know we've got to start tonight This old town's got nothing left For a couple of high school prom rejects This old car has got a new headlight And you can sleep while I drive So slip a little closer next to me And tell me everything that angel said All the world swears you're a liar... But you can sleep while I drive
