New Riders Of The Purple Sage - Take A Letter, Maria lyrics

Greaves Last night as I came home about a half past ten There was the woman I thought I knew in the arms of another man. I kept my cool, I ain't no fool, let me tell you what happened then I packed some things and I walked out and I ain't going back again. You've been lots of things but most of all a good secretary to me And it's times like this I feel you've always been close to me I've been working alone every night to try to make a good life But all work and no play has just cost me a wife. So take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife Say I won't be coming home, I'm gonna start a new life Yeah, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife Send a copy to my lawyer, I gotta start a new life. When a man loves a woman, it's hard to understand That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man. So take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife Say I won't be coming home, I'm gonna start a new life Take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife Send a copy to my lawyer, I gotta start a new life.
