As I move along the roadway
The Los Angeles highway I travel all alone
Sometimes fast but mostly slow, slow, slow
And I think about you, I think about you
I met a girl named Mercedes
She was sweet and beautiful
She had a son, she could talk about him on and on
I just thought about you, I only thought about you
Of all the things that you said, you wanted to do
There was only one time when I wouldn't let you
Of all the things that you said you wanted to be
I remember the last thing that you promised me
You said, I
would
have
married
you
When I first left you
I was proud and dangerous
I was alive, I was alive and alone
I never thought about you
I never thought about you
Well, it wasn't much later
I thought I woke up beside you
And I called out your name
But you were two thousand miles away
I cried about you, I cried about you
Of all the things that you said, you wanted to do
There was only one time when I wouldn't let you
Of all the things that you said, you wanted to be
I remember the last thing that you promised me
You said, I
would
have
married
you
I would have married you
First there were some bruises
Then we made excuses
I would never harm you
Someone had to warn you
Of all the things that you said, you wanted to do
There was only one time when I wouldn't let you
Of all the things that you said, you wanted to be
I remember the last thing that you promised me
You said, I
would
have
married
you
I would have married you
I would have married you
