Mary Jane’s Last Dance Tom Petty
She grew up in an Indiana town, had a good lookin’ mama
Who was never around
She grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night
Then she moved down here at the age of 18
She blew the boys away was more than they’d seen
I was introduced and they both started groovin’
She said “I dig you, but I got to keep on movin’…keep movin’ on”
Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to feel 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 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 and sing me a song, take me as I come
Cause I can’t stay long
Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to feel the pain
I feel summer creepin’ in and I’m tired of this town again
There’s pigeon’s 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 gotta put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
I hit my last number I walked to the road
Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to feel the pain
I feel summer creepin’ in and I’m tired of this town again
