Lyrics

[Verse 1]

She grew up in an Indiana town

Had a good lookin' mama who never was around

But she grew up tall, grew up right

With them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights

[Verse 2]

Well, she moved down here at the age of eighteen

She blew the boys away, was more than they'd seen

I was introduced, we both started groovin'

She said, "I dig you, baby, but I'd like to keep moving"

Ah yes, keep movin' on

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

Oh, my, my, oh, hell, yes

You got to put on that party dress

Buy me a drink, sing me a song

Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

There's pigeons down on Market Square

She's standin' in her underwear

Lookin' down from a hotel room

Nightfall will be comin' soon

[Verse 8]

Oh, my, my, oh, hell, yes

You got to put on that party dress

It was too cold to cry, I woke up alone

I hit my last number, walked to the road

[Verse 9]

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
