  • 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
