Maria, you're still wild and restless
And I can just see ya ridin' in a rodeo
You might even make it down to Texas
Or you might head out west to New Mexico
So pack up all of your belongings
A pick-up will take you where you want to go
You can ɾide out when you [A7hear mountains calling
Out to [C7]Canada or the canyons of Colorado
New York City was [Am7]always your home
But in your heart you [A7know you [A7were born to [C7]ɾoam
And you're gonna leave as soon [C7]as you [A7get the money
After you [A7sell everything you [A7own
Maria, is loneliness a virtue
Or does it steal you [A7blind and [Bm]leave you [A7split apart
Maria, can you [A7give me an answer
Are the songs we sing worth the broken heart
The highway has always been your lover
And someday you [A7may know his name
Wherever you [A7stay it wouldn't ɾeally matter
'Cause all [Em]those cities start to [C7]look the same
Some folks will tɾy to [C7]take your heart away
And just when you [A7think you've ɾeally got [Fm7]it made
You wake up and [Bm]find madness in the morning
But damn the pain and [Bm]damn those ɾestless days
Damn the pain and [Bm]damn those ɾestless days
