Verse 1

Well she grew up in an Indiana town,
Had a good lookin Momma who never was around.
But she grew up tall, and she grew up right.
With them Indiana boys, on a Indiana night.

Verse 2

Well she moved down here, at the age of 18.
She blew the boys away, it was more then they had seen.
I was introduced and we both started groovin'.
She said I figure baby, but I gotta keep movin... on... keep movin on.

Chorus

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 3

Well I dont know, but I been told,
Ya never slow down, you never grow old.
Tired of screwing up, tired of goin down,
Tired of myself, tired of this town.
Oh my my, oh hell yes,
Hunny put on that party dress.
Buy me a drink, sing me a song,
Take me as it comes, cuz I can't stay long.

Verse 4

Theres pidgeons now, on market square,
Shes standing in her underwear.
Lookin 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 last number, and walked to the road.
