Mae Jean Goes To Hollywood

Honey, when I brought you here you said that you would sing

You said that you would wing your way to fortune and fame

Now I've given everything to keep you warm and clean

I didn't bat an eye when you changed your name

I'm getting tired of hearing people

Call you someone else

I'm getting used to seeing you go in the morning

And even supper by myself

Now this Hollywood producer has offered you the world

He lets you drive his sporty new Camaro

Wonder just how many girls he's told that story to

How many dreams have gone away in sorrow

I'm getting tired of biting my nails

And pumping gasoline

I'm getting tired of waiting for you

To figure out why this city is unclean

Mae Jean run back home with me

And I'll go back to working on your daddy's farm

Mae Jean run back home with me

This wicked cities bound to do us harm

Now all this time I helped you with your promising career

I never said one word about your singing

I just want to let you know that you'll still be my star

If you say goodbye to Hollywood and do your singing in the shower

Mae Jean run back home with me

Back to where the air is clean and free

May Jean run back home with me

If this city doesn't get us first it's gonna sink into the sea
