Mary Jane

Caught out on the highway, in the pouring rain 40 pounds of backpack, but I don't feel no pain The sun from California doesn't seem to reach me here And I'm gonna see my darling for the first time this year Going back down to see my Mary Jane Going back down to meet with Mary Jane Going back down to wed Mary Jane Oh Mary Jane, please hold me just like you used to do When we were just teenage kids with dreams to make come true You said that you would wait for me for the rest days of your life And I knew that I'd come back someday and take you for my wife Going back down to see my Mary Jane Going back down to meet with Mary Jane Going back down to wed Mary Jane You don't know how I worried when I was sent away To my Uncle Max's factory on the San Francisco Bay And at nights I'd long hold you on that riverbank serene And to kiss you once again, my love, was my long-held secret dream Going back down to see my Mary Jane Going back down to meet with Mary Jane Going back down to wed Mary Jane Now ten years on, my love, held strong as I hope yours has done the same When we were young, the people said our love was just a game Can we start off again where we left off before? Cause I love you, Mary Jane, and I'll come knocking on your door Going back down to see my Mary Jane Going back down to meet with Mary Jane Going back down to wed Mary Jane Oh, Mary Jane, you look the way that I remember so When I was bad and sent away that long ten years ago Now if you will take me back again like you took me in before I'll walk you down the aisle and carry you across the door Going back down to see my Mary Jane Going back down to meet with Mary Jane Going back down to wed Mary Jane
