Mary Jane's Last Dance

by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers {Greatest Hits}

she grew up in an Indiana town
had a good lookin' momma, never was around
but she grew up tall, and she grew up right
with them Indiana boys on an Indiana night

when she moved down here at the age of 18
she blew the boys away, was more than they'd seen
I was introduced, and we both started groovin'
she said "I dig you, baby, but I gotta 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

I don't know, but I been told
you never slow down, you'll never grow old
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

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 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 the last number, I 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
