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 those young girls into the sack We'll drop down to the dance hall Locals will be kickin' up their heels They'll be drinkin' tequila sunrises Till the morning light fills up the window sills And then I'll be with Sugar Marie, yeah She's the only girl I know that can make me forget about me Come on and dance with me, Sugar Marie, yeah 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 this 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 And then I'll be with Sugar Marie, yeah She's the only girl I know that can make me forget about me Come on, dance with me Sugar Marie, yeah And she don't ask me any questions She don't think of them young boys She belongs to me Sugar Marie 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 forget myself Dance with me, Sugar Marie You're the only girl I know that can make me forget about me Shake that thing for me, Sugar Marie, yeah She don't ask me any questions when it's time to leave Sugar Marie Sugar Marie Hey girl, I wish we could tear the heart out of this old town tonight
