Rose Queen

When I was just a young man, a little wet behind the ears

She grew up at the country club with the diamond chandeliers

I worked at the feed store

I was broke and naive

She was next in line for the crown to be the Rose Queen

I could get alcohol, she had a lot of cash

We'd watch the June bugs dance around while lyin' on the grass

I knew it wouldn't work out for a hayseed like me

But I couldn't resist to steal a kiss from the Rose Queen

My mama always told me she was too rich for my blood

Her daddy always said I was never good enough

She was just a Southern belle, Lord, I made her ring

Soakin' wet from beads of sweat bustin' at the seams, hey, hey

♪

She went off to college while I stayed my ass back home

She came back sororitized as a teenage debutant

Now she tries to act

Like she don't remember me

Well, I guess I'm only good enough once

Yeah, I guess I'm only good enough once

Yeah, for the Rose Queen

For the Rose Queen

For the Rose Queen

For the Rose Queen
