Drag Queens in Limousines Lyrics by Mary Gauthier

Genesis (The Early Years)

1999

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
Charlie and I flipped burgers to cover the rent
And Bourbons at happy hour for thirty-five 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 pray 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 barflies
Writers with dark eyes
Drunks that philosophize
These are my friends
