about

Inspired by a great friend and my recent binge watching of Shameless. Once again, a true ish story.

lyrics

She's a dredneck mama with a forty in her hand,
loves Dolly Parton and Wu-Tang Clan.
Can o spray paint and an attitude.
Feels like a woman, packs like a dude.
Her yard is littered with buckshot and cans,
pipes full of ash and best laid plans.
Roll Tide! bitches and pass the flask.
She puts the ass back in class.

PBR and THC, SSDI and EBT
CPS and PTSD now I know my ABC's.
She ain't got ducks and don't have a row;
just a bunch o damn squirrels, tripping to disco.
Dip in the lip, rail in the glass
She puts the ass back in class.

I love her to death cuz she keeps it real.
Makes me laugh so hard I sound like a seal.
I'm so relieved that I'm on her side.
I thank every day that her Mama tried.

She's come a long way, a lot to overcome.
Rehab's easier said than done.
Never takes off her boots, got issues with trust.
Never knew her daddy, gets tricked by lust.
She's queer as fuck; brings her gun on a date
Cuz you can't rape a 38
Let it be known this pussy grabs back
She puts the ass back in class.

She's got a strong work ethic, she keeps me in line
like the time she threw the ottoman in the fire
but that don't mean she don't have fun
she'll roll up a blunt and yell GITERDONE!

yeah cuz she puts the ass back in class
she puts the ash back in trash
she puts the fun back in dysfunctional.
