Mary Jane Songtext
von Zandi Holup

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 looking at the stars with Mary Jane

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
Since Mary Jane

He met her hippy 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 tempting 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

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

Yeah, since he met Mary Jane he went
From high school straight to state rehab
Seventeen to thirty-five
Life of the party to barely alive

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

He was a quiet boy in seventh grade
She had a little red streak in her twisted braids
