Biography:
Mary Gauthier (born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1962) is an American country and folk singer/songwriter. Given up at birth by a mother she never knew, Mary was adopted. At age 15, she ran away from home and stole her parents' car, and spent the next several years in detox, halfway houses, and living with friends; she spent her 18th birthday in jail. These experiences provided fodder for her songwriting later on (particularly her song "Drag Queens in Limousines").

Happy Anniversary Baby, it's been a year now since you moved away,
A A E E7
Even though I asked, you to go, I miss you every day.
A A D A
I miss you in the evenings, alone in the bed where I lie,
A A E A
I miss you in the morning, before I open my eyes.
I went and sold everything I could babe, then I gave away what I didn't sell
I moved south to Nashville, I might like it there, but I can't tell.
I've been hanging in Austin eating chili's and good barbecue,
Writing songs about losing and heartache, hey babe, I've been writing about you.

A year, that ain't nothin', when you lose someone you love,
D A E A
A year is a drop in a bucket, when you lose someone you love.
I been traveling hard since September, won't get back to Nashville 'till June,
I've played my songs all over the world, but I can't find a home without you.
I press on like a mad rushing river, I press on with the will to survive,
Part of me lives for the wind in my face, while the other parts bearly alive
D A D E
A year, that ain't nothin', when you lose someone you love,
D A E A
A year is a drop in a bucket, when you lose someone you love.
So Happy Anniversary baby, may fortune and fate be your friends,
Wherever you go, I want you to know, I don't think my love ever ends.
I carry it down the highway, it's part of my body and soul,
And one day it'll be the part of me, that pulls me up out of this hole
