Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne

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 it's 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

 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
