John Mellencamp Sugar Marie
Well, I'm all gassed up The car is waitin '' outside I got three more hours on this loser's job And then I'll be ready to ride I got this cowboy comin' with me This guy's name is Jeffrey Jack He can shoot the eyes out of a pool ball He can get the young girls into the sack We'll go down to the dance hall Locals will be kickin' up their heels They'll be drinkin' tequila sunrises Until the morning light fills up the window sills CHORUS And then I'll be with Sugar Marie She's the only girl I know that can make me forget about me Come on and dance with me, Sugar Marie She don't ask me any questions when it's time to leave She works down at the truck stop Where she polishes the spoons She gets colas and burgers for the boys ON those hot summer afternoons She's got a girlfriend named Linda Linda's got a tattoo that says Christ Well, she ain't half bad to talk to And I reckon she looks pretty nice We'll drive down to the dance hall Sittin' there waitin' on me Jesus, you know it feels pretty good And sometimes I need some good ole company CHORUS She don't ask any questions And she don't flirt with the other boys She belongs to me, Sugar Marie I never thought I needed no one I can make a big enough mess myself Oh, but when I finally found someone She made me respect myself Dance for me, Sugar Marie CHORUS Hey girl, I wish we could tear the heart Out of this old town tonight ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
