Maria - Chris Knight

Thank you for the ride there mister

Right here is where I get off

It’s been a little while since I seen her but I don’t think love is lost

Thank you for the whiskey mister ain’t had none in so long

Thank you for the ride, thank you for the whiskey

Thank you for the song

Maria you hear me coming up the road

Maria your new man’s on his way home

I need a chance to fix the things I’ve torn apart

Where I left off’s the only place to start

So take those doubting chains off of your lonely heart

For this thankful man comin' in out of the dark

I believe I’m a stronger man for the suffering and hard time

They put those steel bars around me but they never got her off my mind

Fought my way through the walls of hell just to see her again

Lord thank you for the stars, thank you for the moonlight

Thank you for the beer

Maria hear me coming up the road

Maria your new man’s on his way home

I need a chance to fix the things I’ve torn apart

Where I left off’s the only place to start

So take those doubting chains off of your lonely heart

For this thankful man comin' in out of the dark

Well I never got lost till the day I left your side

And I’ve paid the cost of bein on a long dark ride

Ah Maria your fires leading me home tonight

Thank you for the love, thank you for the laughter

Thank you for the light

Maria you hear me coming up the road

Maria your new man’s on his way home

I need a chance to fix the things I’ve torn apart

Where I left off’s the only place to start

So take those doubting chains off of your lonely heart

For this thankful man comin' in out of the dark

Yeah I’m a thankful man comin' in out of the dark
