She turned 18 in the nick of time to leave a town full of broken-hearted boys behind.
Mississippi in Mid-July really just wasn't her style
I was smoking on a sidewalk in San Antone. She was walking my way with her sun dress on
All at once every woman I'd ever known disappeared behind her smile

Cause they ain't quite Mary Jane
She's one of a kind in a world of the same
From here on out everything
Ain't quite Mary Jane

21-7 with a few to sleep, every hour I breathed was hers to keep
The biggest damn lie I ever believed was thinking she'd stay around

But that ain't quite Mary Jane
She's one of a kind in a world of the same
From here on out everything
Ain't quite Mary Jane

Someday I'll fall in love and I'll try to make it true
But almost good enough'll be the best I ever do.

It ain't quite Mary Jane
She's one of a kind in a world of the same
From here on out everything
Ain't quite Mary Jane

It ain't quite Mary Jane
She's cyanide and sugar cane
From here on out everything
Ain't quite Mary Jane.
