Mary Jane's Last Dance

Mary Jane's Last Dance

She grew up in an indiana town
had a good looking mama,
who never was around
but grew up tall
and she grew up right
with them Indiana boys
on an Indiana night

well she moved down here,
the age of 18
she blew the boys away,
was more than they had seen

I was introduced
and we both started groovin
she said I dig you baby
but I got to keep movin'
on (keep movin'on)

Last dance with mary jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin'in
and I'm tired of this town again

well I don't know,
but I've been told
you never slow down,
you never grow old
I'm tired of screwin'up,
tired of going down
tired of myself,
tired of this town
oh my my, oh hell yes
Honey put on that party dress
buy me a drink,
sing me a song
take me as I come,
'cause i can't stay long

There's pigeons down on market square
she's standing in her underwear
looking down from a hotel room
nightfall will be coming soon

oh my my, oh hell yes,
you got to put on that party dress
it was too cold to cry
when i woke up alone
I hit my number,
I walked to the road
