I Will Take As Many Words As I Want To Write This Story

[b]Drag Queens in Limousines[/b]

[i][c=#7700B2]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 Kerouac and Hemingway.

Drag queens in limousines
Nuns in blue jeans
Dreamers with big dreams
All took me in.

My aunt Pat would have LOVED this song❣️🤗🎶⭐🎻

What a great country/folk song. Thank you for sharing "Drag Queens in Limousines"
@SweetMae I'm so glad you liked this as I did first time I heard it. I think the title may have scared some away and yet the lyrics fit so perfectly!

@SweetMae Where are you?!😔
Beautiful....esp. the last para! 💙🌸
@Elandra77 It's beautifully sung....one of the reasons I love some country songs. 💞👍
@Vivaci It's funny but this past summer, a friend of mine, in his 70's discovered her music. He'd go on and on about how she was the modern Woody Guthrie and so on.

Finally I tired of it and I said that in 5 days I'll be seeing her perform at the Ohio Festivall I went to.

His jaw dropped. I had to laugh.

There's two pics of she and I standing side by side with our arms around each others shoulders.

He got an autographed CD! This is on it!

I really wanted her to do this song but she did not.

She did do this though.
