A tribut to an elephant named Maria--



My Maria don't you know I've come a long long way! I've been longing to see her when she's around she takes my blues away!
Sweet Maria the sunlight shorely hurts my eyes! I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the sky!
My Maria... Maria... I love you!
My Maria there was some blue and sorrow times! Just my thoughts about you bring back my peace of mind!
Gypsy lady you're miracle worked for me! You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea! She is the sunlight where the skies are gray! She treats me so right, lady, take me away!
My Maria... Maria... I love you!

I am absolutely certain that Brooks and Dunn had MY Maria--the elephant--in mind when they wrote their song...

And for some reason, the rest of the team thinks I am out of my mind as our train rolls along with me singing and writing about...

...MY MARIA... I love you...
