Mary Jane

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He was a quiet boy in seventh grade She had a little red streak in her twisted braids He was curious and asked, "What's your name?" Her green eyes answered, "Mary Jane" They met up Friday, after school He lit her up, she made him feel cool He could hurt all night and not feel pain Just lookin' at the stars with Mary Jane [Chorus] She got him to grow up fast, that innocence you don't get back The way he saw the world started to change Felt so good when she was around, but еvery up took him further down And he ain't еver really been the same since Mary Jane [Verse 2] He met her hippie friends one day Wearing tie dye, singing "Touch of Grey" They took trips real far away And were wilder than Mary Jane There was a girl on the road with a temptin' face She rode a white horse and they found a place Where she put a craving in his veins Now, he don't even talk to Mary Jane [Chorus] She got him to grow up fast, that innocence you don't get back The way he saw the world started to change Felt so good when she was around, but every up took him further down And he ain't ever really been the same [Bridge] Yeah, since Mary Jane, he went From high school straight to state rehab Seventeen to thirty-five Life of the party to barely alive [Verse 3] Now, he's in the Church of Redeeming Grace Some people cry, some people pray There's folding chairs and Coffee Mate And chips to count their day by day That they quit that Mary Jane Yeah, they all quit that Mary Jane [Outro] He was a quiet boy in seventh grade She had a little red streak in her twisted braids
