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
|
|
[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
|
