John Mellencamp – Sugar Marie Lyrics  Share

From John Mellencamp's album: John Cougar

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 this girlfriend named Linda
Linda^,s got a tattoo that says Christ
Well she ain^,t half bad to talk to
[ Sugar Marie lyrics from

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
