goodbye mary lou (lyrics)

had she been there all of his life while he wandered around in the field?
no words will be spoken, lips are sealed…

juicy meat and it cuts like a knife while the alligator sheds a tear
he waits by the water on the pier

everyone else, stick-in-the-mud
their hearts pump the same blood

ooo ooo, ooo ooo, ooo ooo ooo ooo, goodbye mary lou!

ooo ooo, ooo ooo (bye mary lou!) x 2

years stacking up like more bricks in the wall
as she watches him play with his friends

alone in the nighttime, she pretends

now he doesn’t know her at all
she was only the means to an end
at the family reunion they attend…
