Amy Ray - Rural Faggot Lyrics
You ride your John Deere down to the pondJust to watch me struggle along.You say you got your daddy's seed in youAnd you think you're bored with anything there is to do with me.You wipe your hands across your bare chestAnd rub your fingers through your crew cut hair.“Expelled from school,” you tell me with a grin,“I copped a feel from an ex-girlfriend.”I know you want to break the rules-We were made by nature's fools.And so you ride all day long, all by yourself,‘Til you feel strong-Strong enough to stayStrong enough to beStanding in the wayOf everything I see.You wanna know why I had to goDown to the baseball park to see you blow it.All the balls just fall from your hands,And your daddy asks me, When is he gonna be a man?”I know you want to change the truth-We were made by nature's fools.So you ride all night longWith your boys in those muscle cars.And you go down to the cityAnd laugh at the faggotsUntil the girls look pretty and until you feel strong-Strong enough to stayStrong enough to beStanding in the wayOf everything that you could see.I'm just a magnet for the rural faggots.They come and knock on my doorJust to find they're running out of timeTo figure out what they come here for.I know you want to know the truthAnd I'm the dyke who will give it to you.By this time next yearyou'll know you're queerIt'll all be okayIt'll all be clearAnd you'll run away from homeBut not to be aloneAnd you'll go down to the cityWhere the boys are prettyAnd where you feel strongStrong enough to stayStrong enough to beA country boy who's gay.
