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 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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
Hey girl I wish we could tear the heart |
Out of this old town tonight |
