Merry Jane's Parade

[Verse] Merry Jane was raised in a little town, Always had a smile, never wore a frown. But she was restless like a wind through the pines, Chased every boy while we stayed behind. [Verse 2] We'd make our plans on a Friday night, But she'd trade our dreams for a Southern boy's light. Laughing and dancing, we'd watch her go, Leaving her best friends in the shadow's glow. [Chorus] Oh Merry Jane, when will you learn, Hearts may glow, but friends don’t burn. You’re chasing love down a one-way lane, And we're always left in your reckless parade. [Verse 3] Remember times down at Pappy’s Creek, Skipping stones while we’d laugh and speak. But she'd see some boy across the way, And like a moth to a flame, she’d drift away. [Verse 4] Her love life was a high-flying affair, But friendships faded with each boy's stare. We'd wave goodbye, our hearts feeling tight, Wishing she'd choose us just for one night. [Chorus] Oh Merry Jane, when will you learn, Hearts may glow, but friends don’t burn. You’re chasing love down a one-way lane, And we're always left in your reckless parade.
