Mae Jean Goes to Hollywood

Lyrics

Honey, when I brought you here
 You said that you would sing
 You said that you would wing your way to fortune and fame
 Now, I've given everything
 To keep you warm and clean
 I didn't bat an eye when you changed your name
 I'm getting tired of hearing people call you someone else
 I'm getting used to seeing you go in the morning
 And eating supper by myself
 Now, this Hollywood producer
 Has offered you the world
 He lets you drive his sporty new Camaro
 Wonder just how many girls he's told that story to
 How many dreams have gone away in sorrow?
 I'm getting tired of biting my nails and pumping gasoline
 I'm getting tired of waiting for you to figure out
 Why this city is unclean
 Mae Jean
 Run back home with me
 And I'll go back to working on your daddy's farm
 Mae Jean
 Run back home with me
 This wicked city's bound to do us harm
 Now, all this time I've helped you
 With your promising career
 I've never said one word about your singing
 I just want to let you know that you'll still be my star
 If you say goodbye for good to Hollywood
 And do your singing in the shower
 Mae Jean
 Run back home with me
 Back to where the air is clear and free
 Mae Jean
 Run back home with me
 If this city doesn't get us first, it's gonna sink into the sea
