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
And 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
I didn't know this thing'd go that fast
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, you know who it's gonna be
Maria, would you wait one more day for me?

I never drove two days through the pouring rain
Just stopping for coffee and gas
Never outrun the law on the interstate
I didn't know this thing'd go that fast
Never been in this deep before
But there's always a first time
Then again, I've never been the jealous kind

I never drove two days through the pouring rain
Just stopping for coffee and gas
Never outrun the law on the interstate
I didn't know this thing'd go that fast
Never been in this deep before
But there's always a first time
Then again, I've never been the jealous kind
Then again, I've never been the jealous kind
