Jimmy Loves Mary-anne Lyrics

Just seventeen
Everything that you've seen
It's all there in her eyes
So many years of her poor mama's tears

And her Daddy's sweet lies
There's nobody home
Mary-Anne's alone
Almost fully grown
And worrying the why's

Jimmy's been down
He's been out and around and
He knows where its at
Love to be good if he thought that he could

But it isn't like that
He don't make mistakes
What he makes, he takes
Jimmy gets all the breaks
'Cause he knows how

Jimmy loves Mary-Anne
Jimmy wants to be a man
Jimmy loves Mary-Anne
She thinks it's alright

She's not alone but
She picks up the phone and hears Jimmy say
"Mother, I'm beat
I'm so sick of the streets"

Feel like running away
There's no life here at all
The city seems so small
Sweeter music is calling us away
Let it play

Jimmy loves Mary-Anne
Jimmy wants to be a man
Jimmy loves Mary-Anne
She thinks it's alright

This big dollar town can drag you right down
If you go it alone
Even the strong don't survive very long
When they're out on their own

Jimmy knows it's true
Mary-Anne knows it too
They can see each other through
If they hold on

Jimmy loves Mary-Anne
Jimmy wants to be a man
Jimmy loves Mary-Anne
She thinks it's alright

Jimmy loves Mary-Anne
Jimmy wants to be a man
Jimmy loves Mary-Anne
She thinks it's alright

Just seventeen
Everything that you've seen
It's all there in her eyes
