Full Song

Verse 1

 
Am G
She grew up in an Indiana town
D Am
Had a good-looking mama who never was around
Am G
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
D Am
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night
 

Verse 2

 
Am G
Well she moved down here at the age of eighteen
D Am
She blew the boys away, it was more than they’d seen
Am G
I was introduced and we both started grooving
D Am
I said I dig you baby but I got to keep moving on
 

Chorus

 
Em A
Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain
Em A
I feel summer creeping in and I’m tired of this town again
 

Verse 3

 
Am G
Well I don’t know what I’ve been told
D Am
You never slow down, you never grow old
Am G
Tired of screwing up, tired of going down
D Am
Tired of myself, tired of this town
