Lyrics:

She grew up in an 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 at 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”

Chorus:

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

(Chorus)

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, I walked to the road

(Chorus)
