Mary Jane's Last Dance

She grew up in a Indiana town

Had a good-looking mama who never was around

But she 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, it was more than they'd seen

I was introduced and we both started grooving

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 creeping 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 screwing 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

Last dance with Mary Jane

One more time to kill the pain

I feel summer creeping in

I'm tired of this town again

There's pigeons down on Market Square

She's standing in her underwear

Looking down from a hotel room

The nightfall will be comin' 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 last number and walked to the road

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
