[F]I Hated High school, I prayed it would[C] end.
[C]The jocks and their girls, it was their world, I didn't fit i[F]n.
[F]Mama said, "Baby, it's the best school that money can b[Bb]uy,
[C]Be strong, hold your head up, c'mon Mary, t[F]ry."
[F]I stole mama's car on a Sunday and left home for go[C]od,
[C]Moved in with my friends in the city, in a bad neighbor[F]hood.
[F]Charles was a dancer, he loved the b[Bb]allet,
[C]And Kimmy sold pot and read Keroac and Hemmin[F]gway.
[F]Drag Queens in Limou[Bb]sines
Nuns in [F]blue jeans
Dreamers with[C] big dreams
All took me[F] in
[F]Charly and I flipped burgers to cover the r[C]ent
[C]And Bourbons at Happy hour for .35 c[F]ents
[F]One day before work we got drunk and danced in the [Bb]rain
They [C]fired us both, They said, "Don't ya'll come back here again[F]."
[F]Drag Queens in Limou[Bb]sines
Nuns in [F]blue jeans
Dreamers with[C] big dreams
All took me[F] in
[F] [C] [C] [F] [F] [Bb] [C] [F]
[F]My daddy went to college, and he worked for the sta[C]te
[C]He never quit nothing and he wanted me to gradu[F]ate.
[F]My brother and sister both play in the marchi[Bb]ng band
They [C]tell me they miss me, but I know they don't understand[F].
[Dm]Sometimes you got[Bb] do, what you got[F]ta do
And p[C]ray that the people you love, will catch up with you[F].
[F]Drag Queens in Limou[Bb]sines
Nuns in [F]blue jeans
Dreamers with[C] big dreams
Poets and AW[F]OL marines
[F]Actors and B[Bb]ar Flys
Writers with D[F]ark Eyes
Drunks that P[C]hilosophize
These are my f[F]riends
