Peggy Sue

[Intro]

[Verse]

A newborn came into this world.
A beautiful, healthy baby girl.
A poor family, her momma, & papa.
Her dreams took flight past pain & trauma, stitched by hope & by karma.
At the age of 10, she was pushed around.
Then learned to stay strong while her smile wore a frown.
Fighting her battles & never backed down.
Became a grade A student, a wiz in her class,
Books were her armor; no moment passed.
Music lessons arrived, playing the violin.
Each note was a rebellion, a storm deep within.
She gathered her pieces; no need to pretend.
That graduation day came, & she was the valedictorian.
A voice once unheard, as she stood at the podium.
Caps flew like dreams in a sky full of glory,
The speech lit the room with the weight of her story.
Now that she's of age, she's feeling the hype.
'Because beautiful Peggy Sue's getting out tonight.'

[Chorus]

Down on the farm at The Catallac Ranch.
Up on the stage with a Violin in her hand...
Would she take the chance to play with the band?
She stood up tall, while envy brewed in their reflection.
Her glow was grace, their stares...
Just tension.
With a smile on her face, she felt alright.
'Because beautiful Peggy Sue got out tonight.'

[Verse]

She moved to a distant city from her hometown.
Chasing dreams in silence, where no one knew her crown.
One morning, after dreaming in heaven.
She had woken up at quarter to seven.
Lying awake as she wiped the sleep from her eyes.
Sat up on the bedside with a moan and a sigh.
Dressed herself in her waitress attire.
She does her best without getting fired.
The city streets were busy as she rushed to her career.
Every day she tends to be nervous & have fear.
Pours sweat into every hour, from nine to five.
Hoping the day will end, to make it out alive.
Tends to the corner like a shrine, where truckers come to rest.
They jest & press, no time to rest...
She dodges charm wrapped in disrespect.
At the Top of the hour, she punched her clock card.
Ran to her car & slammed the door hard.
Finally, she has the weekend off.
Raced back to her low-down loft.
She packed her bags & started to sing.
As she caught the first flight to Dripping Springs.
Booked herself into an Outpost Motel, got all dolled up.
For she'll be drinking moonshine from a red solo cup.
With the stress on her back, now it'll be alright.
'Because beautiful Peggy Sue's getting out tonight.'

[Chorus]

Down on the farm at The Catallac Ranch.
Up on the stage with a Violin in her hand...
Would she take the chance to play with the band?
She stood up tall, while envy brewed in their reflection.
Her glow was grace, their stares...
Just tension.
With a smile on her face, she felt alright.
'Because beautiful Peggy Sue got out tonight.'
