"Dive Bar Beauty Queen" lyrics

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
