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
