Molly May’s got a new hairdo
The size and shape of Texas,
The personality of a lone star –
Surrounded by admirers and haters
Gropers and shakers
Sad sacks and moneymakers
She sings to the good ole’ boys &
Bad ole’ girls at Plumsley’s
Bar & Grill on the other side
Of the railroad tracks.
The bad side
Where the rumble & tumble
Is loudest.
And the rolling thunder
Rolls over the karaoke
Numbers.
Nope, it ain’t Nashville, no sir-eeeeee
Molly’s friends call her drama queen
But I call her queen of drama
Not much difference really
And don’t ya go lookin’ for Molly May
In any old moldy stack of books,
Unless she’s there with her five kids.
She meets them there sometimes
At the library on Main & Caruthers
When a `friend’ stays over
The night before.
