Small Town Queer Lyrics

Friday night in who knows where 

Sky as far as you can see

Everyone knows everyone 

But there's no one who knows me 

I'm just

That girl from school

That girl from church

That Wendy's employee 

Cause being queer out here feels like 

A lonely tumbleweed 

Oh I'm a 

Small Town Queer

And I'm way out here 

Gonna go to New York City

Where the livin's so pretty 

Gotta save up for a year 

So I'm a 

Small Town Queer

And I'm stuck out here 

No one knows the real me 

But I can feel me 

Burstin' at the seams of my Goodwill jeans

Friday night

No place to go

Not a queer club in this town 

I wanna get my groove on 

But there's nowhere to get down 

Steal my daddy's pick-up truck

Drive around and pick up chicks

Steal my brother's cowboy boots

So that I can get my kicks 

Cause I'm a 

Small Town Queer

And I'm way out here 

Gonna go get seen like Ellen

But for now I'm chillin'

Herdin' cows and sippin' beer

Oh I'm a 

Small Town Queer

And I'm stuck out here

Praise the Lord for ebay so I can get gay

Secret magazines by the Brooklyn queens 

I wanna raise my rainbow flag above my head

But if I ever let it fly, they'd shoot me dead 

So I just keep it all inside, live in my head 

And when I really wanna scream 

I smile instead 

Smile 

Smile 

Smile 

Cause I'm a 

Small Town Queer

And I'm way out here 

Gonna go to New York City

Where the livin's so pretty 

Gotta save up for a year 

So I'm a 

Small Town Queer

And I'm stuck out here 

Gonna go get seen like Ellen

But for now I'm chillin'

Herdin' cows and sippin' beer

Oh I'm a 

Small Town Queer

And I'm still out here 

Gonna one day liberate me 

Like Liberace

But this town's got me beat 

So I'm still a 

Small Town Queer

And I'm way out here 

No one knows the real me 

But I can feel me 

Burstin' at the seams 

Livin' in my dreams 

Feelin' somewhere in between

Bein' lost and bein' seen 

So I'll save up for a year

So I can live without this fear

But for now, I'm still stuck here

I'm a Small Town Queer
