Down In Mary's Land Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

Fields of green by the side of the road 

Going down in Mary's land 

Roll down the window feel the cool of a grove 

Hit the palm of your outstretched hand 

Radio's playing a tune from the country 

Fiddle and an old time band 

Race with the moon to the edge of the water 

Down in Mary's land 

Down in Mary's land 

East of Virginia where the bay meets a river 

Down in Mary's land 

The wind pulls your sleeve like a long lost lover 

Whose heart can't understand 

How you ever could leave 

The view you behold 

Ain't it fine and ain't life grand 

When you don't need nothing 

But some beer and a bushel 

Down in Mary's land 

Gonna sleep with the stars 

And a slice of the moon 

Hanging right above my bed 

Gonna dream not of things 

That I've left behind 

But those I've found instead 

Down in Mary's land 

Radio's playing a tune from the country 

Fiddle and an old time band 

Race with the moon to the edge of the water 

Down in Mary's land
