Drag Queens In Limousines Lyrics

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 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 .35 cents

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
