John Cougar Follow

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
'Til 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
And 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
Sometimes I need some good ol' 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

And she don't ask me any questions
She don't flirt with the other boys
She belongs to me, Sugar Marie, Sugar Marie

Never thought I needed no one
I can make a big enough mess myself
Oh, but when I finally found someone
As she made me forget myself

Dance with me, Sugar Marie
She's the only girl I know that can make me forget about me
Da-da-dance for me, Sugar Marie
She don't ask me any questions when it's time to leave
Sugar Marie, Sugar Marie

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

Well, I'm all gassed up
The car is waitin' outside
I got three more hours on this loser's job
