And don't try to stop me
As you turn to watch me
Are there pots of gold, are there floods and fires?
I went out to face the wilderness
Don't cry MaryAnn
MaryAnn, MaryAnn
I went out to face the wilderness
The men in hats, the boys on bikes
And don't try to stop me
And so goodbye MaryAnn
'Cause I'm gonna go where the lights are bright
I went out to face the wilderness
And so goodbye MaryAnn
Songwriters: Shawn Colvin, John Leventhal
I put on my finest summer dress
I brushed my hair, held my breath
And we never lived, we just survived
I went out to face them one by one
Don't cry MaryAnn
Don't cry
MaryAnn
I went out to face them one by one
I brushed my hair, I held my breath
We've been sleeping girl all our lives
Are there thieves and beggars, saints and liars?
Where sacred secrets sail like kites
I put on my finest summer dress
The superstars, the blighted ones
And I'll find out who, who could care for me
As you turn to watch me
So light and thin, it was my best
I went out to face the wilderness
I'll take my heart, I'll take my key
And we never lived, we just survived
So light and thin, torn at the chest
The perfect girls, the baby dykes
Are there thieves and beggars, saints and liars?
