I was sitting with Mary In my dad's blue valiant Rain was coming down And the radio was playing And Mary was talking A million miles a minute I could not hear one word She was saying
Cause I was lost I was gone Listening to Levon In another world Oh, in another place I was lost I was gone Listening to Levon I was looking in Mary's eyes But I was listening to Levon (oh yeah)
Mary's hair was black That much I remember Mary's skin was smooth I remember that too And she'd open her eyes Sometimes when she kissed me I don't why she did that Maybe Mary knew
That I was lost I was gone Listening to Levon In another place Oh, in some other world Yeah I was lost I was gone Listening to Levon I was looking at the girl But I was listening to Levon (oh yeah)
I changed her name To protect the innocent I might have even lied About the car But this is just to say I'm sorry if I hurt you But Mary if you're out there Cause you know who you are (sorry baby)
Well it serves me right If you can't even hear me singing If you tuned me out A long time ago And it serves me right If you already changed the station And you're listening right now To that ol' boy on the radio
And you're lost And you're gone Listening to Levon In another world Oh, from some other place Are you lost Are you gone Listening to Levon Is there a smile upon your face While you're listening to Levon
