Sugar Marie Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Written by John Mellencamp 

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 

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 

Photos 

Chorus 

She don't ask any questions 

And she don't flirt with the other boys 

She belongs to me Sugar Marie 

Bridge: 

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
