Oh, I can't explain the reason why

The almond lady caught my eye

Well, I don't even know why I try

Just call it sweet mystery



Oh, and I don't even know if it's really me

Who tried to see the girl I wanted you to be

So I taste these tears from my eyes

With salty sweet mystery



Sad lights along the Houston highway

Another man dead from the truckin' game

The very first night you disillusioned my way

Another love dies, and it's such a crying shame



Oh darlin', I'm feeling the rain fallin' from the stormy skies

When you say you love me, you got tears in your eyes

Whoa, I guess there's no need to say goodbye

It was such a sweet mystery
