[Verse 1]
Am                G
She grew up in an Indiana town
      D                      Am
Had a good lookin' momma 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 18
      D                      Am
She blew the boys away, it was more than they'd seen
       Am                    G
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
          D                  Am
She said, I dig you baby but I got to keep movin'
 
...on, keep movin' on
 
 
[Chorus]
Em7                                                     A
Last dance with Mary Jane, One more time to kill the pain
Em7                                                     A    G
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm Tired of this town again

[Verse 3]
Am                G
Well I don't know but I've been told
D                 Am
You never slow down, you never grow old
Am                G
I'm tired of screwing up, I'm tired of goin' down
D                 Am
I'm tire of myself, I'm tired of this town
Am               G
Oh my my, oh hell yes
Dsus2                 Am
Honey put on that party dress
Am                         G
Buy me a drink, sing me a song,

Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long
 
 
[Chorus]

Em7                                                     A    G
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm Tired of this town again

[Verse 4]
Am                  G
There's pigeons down in Market Square
Dsus2                   Am
She's standing in her underwear
Am                 G
Lookin' down from a hotel room
Dsus2              Am
Nightfall will be coming soon
Am               G
Oh my my, oh hell yes
Dsus2              Am
You've got to put on that party dress
Am                         G
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
Dsus2                         Am
I hit the last number, I walked to the road
 
 
[Chorus]
Em7                                                     A
