The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh how I wish I was lyin` in the arms of Mary
She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh how I wish I was lyin` in the arms of Mary
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn`t gone
when I learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take
So now when I get lonely
Still lookin for the one and only
That`s when I wish was lyin` in
The Arms of Mary
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on my first mistake
