Dive Bar Beauty Queen

I’ve been a dive bar beauty queen

Since I was only eighteen

I picked up drinkin’ and smokin’

Way too early on

Bummin’ Marlboros from the old dudes

And shotgunnin’ beers in the bathroom

And breakin’ hearts before

They could ever break mine

Well this life I live

It ain’t for the faint of heart

You gotta get dressed up

And stay out late

Just to beat on your guitar

Awh yeah, but you pay your dues

And you sing the blues

You pack it up for another one

It’s the life of a dive bar beauty queen

Wouldn’t change it if I could

My black nail polish is chippin’

And my hair smells like nicotine

Sing my heart out for hours

Just to make a little green

But it’s cat calls and it’s dirty jokes

And stayin’ way pass closin’ time

But we got neon lights, Johnny on guitar

And some things to keep us high

Yeah, this life I live

It ain’t for the faint of heart

You gotta get dressed up

To stay out late

Just to beat on your guitar

Awh yeah, but you pay your dues

And you sing the blues

You pack it up for another one

It’s the life of a dive bar beauty queen

Wouldn’t change it if I could

Hit ‘em boys

We all wanna be in the big leagues

But we gotta start somewhere

So I guess i’ll play “Freebird” again

Until I make it there

Yeah, this life I live

It ain’t for the faint of heart

You gotta get dressed up

To stay out late

Just to beat on your guitar

Awh yeah, but you pay your dues

Hopin’ that your day comes

It’s the life of a dive bar beauty queen

Wouldn’t change it if I could

Awh it’s the life of a dive bar beauty queen

Raise a drink and watch her run

Whoo
