Dashboard Mary

[Verse 1]

The two left at night time

They had fourteen hours to kill

When with little in his car

Both acting on the thrill

She was twenty-seven

And the man was older still

Taught there at her college

Spoke on Wordsworths daffodils

Oh-oh, ooh

[Verse 2]

And the man came hardly talking

When he quietened from the passions of gin

And he was worried about his driving

And where they'd stay in Michigan

She thought that he was regretting

'Cause his hands on the wheel were blue

And if the boy at home had woken

And if the Dashboard Mary knew

Ooh, mmm

Ooh

[Chorus]

Ooh

(I'm not coming home)

Ooh

(I'm not coming home)

Ooh

(I'm not coming home)

Ooh

[Verse 3]

Pulled up to a cafe

When they had four more hours to go

Pushed their breakfast round their plates

Both faking the after glow

And the waitress's eyes were prying

As she covered up her purse

And the picture gone, gone

Gone, gone

Gone, gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Oh, oh, oh

I'm not coming home

And I, oh, oh, oh God

I'm not saying I'm not coming home

And I, oh, oh, oh God

I'm not saying I'm not coming home

And I, oh, oh, oh God

I'm not saying I'm not coming home
