Joe said, "Mary, gotta blow this town"
Oh, Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
In a beat up Buick on the open road
Chuck Berry playin' on the radio
Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe

Joe said, "Mary, just a few more miles
You can make it, baby, just gimme a smile
I can see Bethlehem up ahead
They got a buffet breakfast and a motel bed."

The heater went out, it was twenty below
Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe

Well, they're all filled up at the Motel 6

But don't you worry, baby, it'll be alright
There's angels up in heaven lookin' down tonight"
