In the town they had a rocking band
Tried to take Maria's hand
Didn't turn out the way I planned
And Maria took me for a ride
In the town they had a tunnel of love
Two hands from up above
First came push and then came shove
And Maria took me for a ride
Maria took me for a ride
I said, Maria, way on down the track
I said, Maria, when are you coming back
In the town there was a liquor store
Broken bottles all over the floor
They won't let me shop there anymore
Since Maria took me for a ride
In the town there was a gallery
I asked if she would marry me
She told me that was a blasphemy,
And Maria took me for a ride
Maria took me for a ride
In the end she found another guy
I never stopped to wonder why
Some trains just kinda pass you by
Maria took me for a ride
