Rose Queen

[Verse 1]
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 naïve
She was next in line for the crown to be the Rose Queen

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
She went off to college, while I stayed my ass back home
She came back sororitized as a teenage debutante
Now she tries to act like she don't remember me
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
