Drag Queens in Limousines

I Hated High school

I prayed it would end

The jocks and their girls

It was their world

I didn't fit in

Mama said

Baby

It's the best school that money can buy

Hold your head up

Be strong

C'mon Mary

Try

I stole mama's car on a Sunday and left home for good

Moved in with my friends in the city

In a bad neighborhood

Charles was a dancer

He loved the ballet

And Kimmy sold pot and read Keroac and Hemingway

Drag Queens in Limousines

Nuns in blue jeans

Dreamers with big dreams

All took me in

Charly and I flipped burgers to cover the rent

And Bourbons at Happy hour for

35cents

One day before work we got drunk and danced in the rain

They fired us both

They said

Don't ya'll come back here again

Drag Queens in Limousines

Nuns in blue jeans

Dreamers with big dreams

All took me in

My dad went to college

And he worked for the state

He never quit nothing and he wanted me to graduate

My brother and sister both play in the marching band

They tell me they miss me

But I know they don't understand

Sometimes you got do

What you gotta do

And hope that the people you love

Will catch up with you

Yea Drag Queens in Limousines

Nuns in blue jeans

Dreamers with big dreams

Poets and AWOL marines

Actors and Bar Flys

Writers with Dark Eyes

Drunks that Philosophize
