John Mellencamp - Sugar Marie Lyrics
Written by John MellencampWell I'm all gassed upThe Car is waitin' outsideI got three more hours on this loser's jobAnd then I'll be ready to rideI got this cowboy comin' with meThis guy's name is Jeffrey JackHe can shoot the eyes out of a pool ballHe can get the young girls into the sackWe'll go down to the dance hallLocals will be kickin' up their heelsThey'll be drinkin' tequila sunrisesUntil the morning light fills up the window sillsChorus:And then I'll be with Sugar MarieShe's the only girl I know that can make me forget about meCome on and dance with me Sugar MarieShe don't ask me any questions when it's time to leaveShe works down at the truck stopWhere she polishes the spoonsShe gets colas and burgers for the boysOn those hot summer afternoonsShe's got this girlfriend named LindaLinda's got a tattoo that says ChristWell she ain't half bad to talk toAnd I reckon she looks pretty niceWe'll drive down to the dance hallSittin' there waitin' on meJesus, you know it feels pretty goodAnd sometimes I need some good ole companyChorusShe don't ask any questionsAnd she don't flirt with the other boysShe belongs to me Sugar MarieBridge:I never thought I needed no oneI can make a big enough mess myselfOh, but when I finally found someoneShe made me respect myselfDance for me Sugar MarieChorusHey girl I wish we could tear the heartOut of this old town tonight
