People Who Read People Magazine<br>

<br>

(Kinky Friedman)<br>

<br>

Well, I'm here to say I got turned away from Studio 54<br>

Back to neon lights and lonely nights and saw-dust on the floor<br>

And if she ever loved me, she don't love me anymore,<br>

And if anyone should ask me, here's who I'm singing for:<br>

<br>

For the people who read People Magazine,<br>

For the soap opera lovers, for the home-town bowling team,<br>

For everybody everywhere who's ever lost a dream,<br>

For the people who read people who read People Magazine.<br>

<br>

Now if you're too New York for Texas, too Texas for L.A.<br>

You been chasing trends like rainbow ends but you're always just a song away<br>

And if the White House wouldn't have ya, play in every little honky-tonk and bar<br>

The good Lord made the Heavens, ah but He never made a star.<br>

<br>

No, its the people who read People Magazine,<br>

It's the soap opera lovers, its the home-town bowling team,<br>

It's everybody everywhere who's ever lost a dream,<br>

For the people who read people who read People Magazine.<br>

<br>

And to tell you the truth this telephone booth gets lonesome in the rain,<br>

But son, I'm 21 in Nashville and I'm 43 in Maine.<br>

And when your mama gets home, would you tell her I phoned, it'd take a life-time to explain<br>

That I'm a country-picker with a bumper-sticker that says: “God Bless John Wayne”.<br>

<br>

And bless the people who read People Magazine,<br>

Bless the soap opera lovers, bless the home-town bowling team,<br>

Bless everybody everywhere who's ever lost a dream,<br>

For the people who read people who read People Magazine.<br>

Bless the people who read people who read People Magazine.<br>

<br>
