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

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 Kerouac and Hemingway.

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

@Vivaci I think it's that way as well. And the last part is a great inclusion to the song. I've hoped; wanted that so many times.

Glad you liked this. There is a sweetness to it.🤗

@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.
