AMY RAY - RURAL FAGGOT lyrics

rate me

You ride your John Deere down to the pond

Just to watch me struggle along.

You say you got your daddy's seed in you

And you think you're bored with anything there is to do with me.

You wipe your hands across your bare chest

And rub your fingers through your crew cut hair.

“Expelled from school,” you tell me with a grin,

“I copped a feel from an ex-girlfriend.”

I know you want to break the rules-

We were made by nature's fools.

And so you ride all day long, all by yourself,

‘Til you feel strong-

Strong enough to stay

Strong enough to be

Standing in the way

Of everything I see.

You wanna know why I had to go

Down to the baseball park to see you blow it.

All the balls just fall from your hands,

And your daddy asks me, When is he gonna be a man?”

I know you want to change the truth-

We were made by nature's fools.

So you ride all night long

With your boys in those muscle cars.

And you go down to the city

And laugh at the faggots

Until the girls look pretty and until you feel strong-

Strong enough to stay

Strong enough to be

Standing in the way

Of everything that you could see.

I'm just a magnet for the rural faggots.

They come and knock on my door

Just to find they're running out of time

To figure out what they come here for.

I know you want to know the truth

And I'm the dyke who will give it to you.

By this time next year

you'll know you're queer

It'll all be okay

It'll all be clear

And you'll run away from home

But not to be alone

And you'll go down to the city

Where the boys are pretty

And where you feel strong

Strong enough to stay

Strong enough to be
