Verse: / /   / /   / /    / /    Chorus: / / / / / / / /    / / / / / / / / /    / / / / / / / /   / / / /   / (let ring for 4 counts) Lyrics and chord timing:     Note: The song begins with just the guitar playing the verse chords twice. Listen to the song to get the up strum parts etc. She grew up in an Indiana town She had a good looking mama    Who never was around But she grew up tall She grew up right With them Indiana boys   On an Indiana night (Harmonica part)          She came down here at the age of 18 She blew the boys away - was more than they’d seen We were introduced and we both started groovin’ She said I dig you baby - But I gotta keep movin’ - on - keep movin’ on Chorus: Last dance with Mary Jane - One more time to kill the pain I feel summer creepin’ in and I’m tired of this town again (Harmonica part) Well I don’t know - but I’ve been told You never slow down - you never grow old I’m tired of screwing up - tired of going down Tired of myself - tired of this town Oh my my - Oh hell yes  - Honey put on that party dress Buy me a drink and play me a song Take me as I came - cause I can’t stay long Chorus Guitar solo:                                       E|-------------------|--------------------| A|--5----------------|--5-----------------| D|-----7--5-----5--7-|-----7--5-----5-----|  x2   G|-----------7-------|-----------7-----7--| B|-------------------|--------------------| E|-------------------|--------------------| The next part in the guitar solo I havn?t figured out yet. It goes a bit higher. If you listen to the song you might be able to get it.   There’s pigeons down on Market Square She’s standing there in her underwear Looking out of a hotel room The nightfall will be coming soon Oh my my - Oh hell yes - You gotta put on that party dress It was cold when I woke up alone I played my last nickel and walked to the road Chorus                    Note:  If you don?t play the harmonica the harmonica part is something like this on guitar:    E|-------------------|------------------------| A|--5----------------|--5---------------------| D|-----7--5--4-------|-----7--5--4--5--4?-----|  Play this as many times as needed G|--------------7----|--------------------5--7| B|-------------------|------------------------| E|-------------------|------------------------|

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'une jeune femme qui a grandi dans une petite ville de l'Indiana. Elle a un passé marqué par l'absence de sa mère et a quitté sa ville natale à l'âge adulte pour poursuivre sa vie. À travers sa mélancolie, elle exprime le désir de profiter d'un dernier moment de danse pour échapper à la douleur et à la lassitude de sa vie. Les rencontres éphémères et la quête de liberté sont des thèmes forts, tout comme le sentiment d'ennui et de besoin de changer d'environnement. Le contexte se déroule dans une atmosphère de nostalgie et de recherche de réconfort, où la célébration et le passage du temps se mêlent intimement. Ces éléments évoquent une lutte entre le désir de rester attaché à des souvenirs et la nécessité d'avancer, une thématique universelle qui résonne dans de nombreuses vies.
