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
 Charley 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 y'all 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
 Yeah, 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
