Marfa on My Mind

Two days, two nights in a hotel room
Lone Star beer and nothing better to do
Took off her ring put it in her purse
Didn't need anything to make her feel any worse
She asked me to help her with her dress
Her hair hung down over her chest
Pulled back the covers and we climbed into bed I knew she'd be a lover that I'd never forget
Heading West on the 10 tonight
I gotta get back to my real life
Hard as I try I can't leave her behind I got Marfa on my mind
Empty bottles and cigarette ash
Woke up, she was gone and I just laughed She left her necklace laying next to the bed Where she is now I can only guess
Heading West on the 10 tonight
I gotta get back to my real life
Hard as I try I can't leave her behind

And I swear I sometimes see her Right there in my rearview mirror
Heading West on the 10 tonight
I gotta get back to my real life
Hard as I try I can't leave her behind I got Marfa on my mind
