Mary Jane’s Last Dance Lyrics By Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

    she grew up in an indiana town
    had a good lookin’ mama who never was around
    but she grew up tall and she grew up right
    with them indiana boys on them indiana nights
    well she moved down here at the age of eighteen
    she blew the boys away was more than they’d seen
    i was duced and we both started groovin’
    she 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 going down
    tired of myself tired of this town

    refrain
    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 down on market square
    she’s standin’ in her underwear
    lookin’ down from a hotel room
    the nightfall will be comin’ soon

    refrain
    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

    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
