Small Town Girl Poem by Clyde King

Small town girl
with big time dreams
All you ever got
was laid it seems

You were a little redneck girl
Lived near the tracks
You got to the casting couch
But it was on your back

You never made it
to the big girls game
You tripped in the gutters
you forgot your name

You thought you were a diva
of sorts I suppose
The only support you ever got
was by your panty hose

You were a little redneck girl
Lived near the tracks
You got to the casting couch
But it was on your back

You thought you were it
the star of the show
On the road you found out
you had no place to go

You ruined your gift
the gift to entertain
You lowered your standards
the gift was in vain

You're an old woman now
Chewing the rag and bone too
Your life has not been good
and neither have you

You were a little redneck girl
Lived near the tracks
You got to the casting couch
But it was on your back
