I was sitting with Mary
In my dad's blue valiant
Rain was coming down
And the radio was playing
And Mary was talking
A million miles a minute
I could not hear one word
She was saying

Cause I was lost
I was gone
Listening to Levon
In another world
Oh, in another place
I was lost
I was gone
Listening to Levon
I was looking in Mary's eyes
But I was listening to Levon (oh yeah)

Mary's hair was black
That much I remember
Mary's skin was smooth
I remember that too
And she'd open her eyes
Sometimes when she kissed me
I don't why she did that
Maybe Mary knew

That I was lost
I was gone
Listening to Levon
In another place
Oh, in some other world
Yeah I was lost
I was gone
Listening to Levon
I was looking at the girl
But I was listening to Levon (oh yeah)

I changed her name
To protect the innocent
I might have even lied
About the car
But this is just to say I'm sorry if I hurt you
But Mary if you're out there
Cause you know who you are (sorry baby)

Well it serves me right
If you can't even hear me singing
If you tuned me out
A long time ago
And it serves me right
If you already changed the station
And you're listening right now
To that ol' boy on the radio

And you're lost
And you're gone
Listening to Levon
In another world
Oh, from some other place
Are you lost
Are you gone
Listening to Levon
Is there a smile upon your face
While you're listening to Levon
