Sweet Maria Lyrics by Ben Bostick

My Country

0

If I had a car, we’d drive down to the ocean
You’d call it "el mar", and we’d lay out in the sand
And if the sun was shining, I’d cover you with lotion
Talk about the fine things and forget the second hand
Oh Maria, dance a little closer
Close your eyes and don’t say anything
Don’t believe the sirens on Figueroa
Just listen to Carmelita sing Las Mañanitas
Sweet Maria
And if I had a plane, we’d fly to Costa Rica
Land atop a mountain and look down on the world
I’d learn to speak Spanish, we’d eat comida rica
And everything would vanish that we didn’t want in our world
Oh Maria, dance a little closer
Close your eyes and don’t say anything
Don’t believe the sirens on Figueroa
Just listen to Carmelita sing Las Mañanitas
Sweet Maria
And if I wasn’t me, I wouldn’t blow my money
On cocaine mariachi, and we could do all that kind of stuff
And maybe I’d never worry that you weren’t gonna love me
That I’d wake up and find you burned me cuz I didn’t have enough for you
Maria, dance a little closer
Close your eyes and don’t say anything
Don’t believe the sirens on Figueroa
Just listen to Carmelita sing Las Mañanitas
Sweet Maria
