Mary Gauthier - Drag Queens In Limousines Lyrics
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 LimousinesNuns in blue jeansDreamers with big dreamsAll took me inCharly and I flipped burgers to cover the rentAnd Bourbons at Happy hour for .35 centsOne day before work we got drunk and danced in the rainThey fired us both,They said, "Don't ya'll come back here again."Drag Queens in LimousinesNuns in blue jeansDreamers with big dreamsAll took me inMy dad went to college, and he worked for the stateHe never quit nothing and he wanted me to graduate.My brother and sister both play in the marching bandThey tell me they miss me, but I know they don't understand.Sometimes you got do, what you gotta doAnd hope that the people you love, will catch up with you.Yea Drag Queens in LimousinesNuns in blue jeansDreamers with big dreamsPoets and AWOL marinesActors and Bar FlysWriters with Dark EyesDrunks that Philosophize
