the story begins in sticky summer sweat on georgia clay we laughed together like we thought every day was bid day and rushing forward horseshoes, x's and a couple oh-no's you and me, peas and carrots, thelma louise, lord knows. CHORUS: mary go round and round together mary go up and never down mary go round through any kinda weather mary go round the summer came and went we played at camp and tressel jumped i-85 and merlene kept us wild and so fucked up back down to georgia red and black and boys and whiskey too out all night downtown drinking, sidewalk skipping, me and you. repeat CHORUS BRIDGE: i fell in-love and i made mistakes now mary doesn't come around here anymore how can best friends, go to no friends, go to like it was before but i have seen her, she is happy, she is smiling wide i just want one more chance to ride that magic mary ride. repeat CHORUS
