Ode To My Former Life:

oh the days we used to party all night
trying to feel something that resembled city life
drinking by the bombfire on a crisp summer night

we were the queens of small town life
walking downtown reaking havoc on the city streets
stealing traffic cones, screamin at the top of our lungs
our parents were concerned we'd all die young

here i stand with my oldest friend
she's got a smile on her face and heels in her hand
the clouds open and rain pours down
while she starts to laugh, i start to dream my good-byes
we scream and shout and plan our big city lives

this is what makes us small town queens
we all look back, kick up our heals and thank the sky
this is what we'd die for, this is our big city dream
this is what makes us small town queens
we don't cry, we don't care (about anything)
we drink our PBR and scream lyrics to our favorite song

and this is where the road to the end begins
we had too much fun, too many scars, we made lots of scenes
we drank, we smoked, we pushed it to the extremes

we turned eighteen and we had arrived
big city life, working and flirting at the local bars
cheerin on my friend as she danced on cars
doing keg stands and getting high at the local dive

becoming professionals at popping locks
swimming quietly at the velvet cloak (no clothes on)
runnin' from the cops dippin and drippin into the jackpot
all the time screaming 'that's all you've got!'

get us now, get us while you can
screamin at cops with beers in our hands

this is what makes us small town queens
we all look back, kick our heals up and thank the sky
this is what we'd die for, this is our big city dream
this is what makes us small town queens
we don't cry, we don't care (about anything)
we drink our PBR and scream lyrics to our favorite song

these are who i called friends
we got into trouble and when stuff got bad
i called mom and dad and they got sad
a college drop out, a ex-beauty queen, small town girl
crying and lying about where i'd been

this is what makes me a small town queen
i look back, kick my heals up and thank the sky
this is what i'd die for, this is my big city dream
this is what makes me a small town queen
i don't cry, i don't care (about anything)
i drink my PBR and scream lyrics to my favorite song

lucky for my parents i haven't died young (yet) --- hahahaha
