[Verse 1] Two days, two nights in a hotel room
Lone Star beer, nothin' better to do
Took off her ring and put it in her purse
Didn't need anything to make her feel any worse
She asked me to help her with her dress
Her hair hung down over her chest
Pulled back the covers and climbed into bed
I knew she'd be a lover that I'd never forget

[Chorus] Headin' west on the ten tonight
I gotta get back to my real life
Hard as I try, I can't leave her behind
I got Marfa on my mind

[Verse 2] Empty bottles and cigarette ash
Woke up, she was gone and I just laughed
She left her necklace layin' next to the bed
Where she is now, I can only guess

[Chorus] Headin' west on the ten tonight
I gotta get back to my real life
Hard as I try, I can't leave her behind
I got Marfa on my mind

[Bridge] And I swear I sometimes see her
Right there in my rearview mirror

[Chorus] Headin' west on the ten tonight
I gotta get back to my real life
Hard as I try, I can't leave her behind
I got Marfa on my
I got Marfa on my mind
Marfa on my mind
I got Marfa on my mind
Marfa on my mind
