the jealous kind

i got a letter from maria

you know her english ain't that good

but what she meant was easily understood

if i'm gonna keep her

i better get there quick

the thought of her with somebody else just makes me sick

i never drove two days through the pouring rain

just stopping for coffee and gas

never outrun the law on the interstate

didn't know this thing'd go that fast

i've never been in this deep before

but there's always a first time

then again

i've never been the jealous kind

blue lights in the mirror

blue lights in my way

but still all i see is her pretty face

when they give me that one phone call

i know what it's gonna be

maria will you wait one more day for me
