Maria, you're still wild and restless 
                G5      C5              D5 
And I can just see ya ridin' in a rodeo 
          G5    C5                G5    C5 
You might even make it down to Texas 
                   G5   D5               G5  C5  G5 
Or you might head out west to New Mexico 
 
 
G5          C5              G5        C5 
So pack up all of your belongings 
  G5             C5                       D5 
A pick-up will take you where you wanna go 
        G5              C5                   G5      C5 
You can ride out when you hear mountains calling 
       G5             D5               G5   C5  G5 
Out to Canada or the canyons of Colorado 
 
 
D5        C5                     G5   C5  G5 
New York City was always your home 
D5           C5                       G5   
But in your heart you know you were born to roam 
                  B5                           C5 
And you're gonna leave as soon as you get the money 
          G5    D5               G5 C5 G5 
After you sell everything you own

Maria, is loneliness a virtue 
           G5                     C5             D5 
Or does it steal you blind and leave you split apart 
G5       C5                  G5     C5 
Maria, can you give me an answer 
        G5             D5                 G5   C5  G5      
Are the songs we sing worth the broken heart 
 
 
G5                C5               G5     C5 
The highway has always been your lover 
    G5       C5                D5    
And someday you may know his name 
 G5                C5                   G5     C5 
Wherever you stay it wouldn't really matter 
                 G5       D5                G5   C5  G5 
'Cause all those cities start to look the same 
 
 
D5               C5                 G5        C5  G5 
Some folks will try to take your heart away 
D5                  C5                  G5 
And just when you think you've really got it made 
         B5                          C5 
You wake up and find madness in the morning 
    G5                  D5                  G5    C5 G5 
But damn the pain and damn those restless days 
G5                  D5                   G5 
Damn the pain and damn those restless days
