"Mary Jane's Last Dance" lyrics

"Mary Jane's Last Dance"
(originally by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)

Well, she grew up in an Indiana town
Had a good lookin' mama who never was around
And she grew up tall and she grew up right
With the Indiana boys on the Indiana night

Well, she moved down here at the age of eighteen
Blew the boys away, was more than they'd seen
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
I 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 goin' down
Tired of myself, tired of this town

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

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

There's pigeons now on Market Square
She's sittin' in her underwear
Lookin' down from her hotel room
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
Hit the 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

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
