[Verse]
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
You ride your John Deere down to the pond
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
Just to watch me struggle along.
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
You say you got your daddy's seed in you
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
And you think you're bored with anything there is to do with me.
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
You wipe your hands across your bare chest
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
And rub your fingers through your crew cut hair.
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
"Expelled from school," you tell me with a grin,
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
"I copped a feel from an ex-girlfriend."
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
I know you want to break the rules-
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
We were made by nature's fools.
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
And so you ride all day long, all by yourself,
Asus4 Dsus4
'Til you feel strong-
[Chorus]
Asus4 Dsus4
Strong enough to stay
Asus4 Dsus4
Strong enough to be
Asus4 Dsus4
Standing in the way
Asus4 Dsus4
Of everything I see.
[Verse]
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
You wanna know why I had to go
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
Down to the baseball park to see you blow it.
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
All the balls just fall from your hands,
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
And your daddy asks me, "When is he gonna be a man?"
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
I know you want to change the truth-
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
We were made by nature's fools.
Asus4 Dsus4
So you ride all night long
A Asus4 Dsus4
With your boys in those muscle cars.
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
And you go down to the city
A
And laugh at the faggots
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
Until the girls look pretty and until you feel strong-
[Chorus]
Asus4 Dsus4
Strong enough to stay
Asus4 Dsus4
Strong enough to be
Asus4 Dsus4
Standing in the way
Asus4 Dsus4
Of everything I see.
[Verse]
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
I'm just a magnet for the rural faggots.
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
They come and knock on my door
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
Just to find they're running out of time
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
To figure out what they come here for.
Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4
I know you want to know the truth
A Asus4
And I'm the dyke who will give it to you.
[Bridge]
Asus4
By this time next year
Asus4
You'll know you're queer
A
It'll all be okay
A
It'll all be clear
Asus4
And you'll run away from home
Asus4
But not to be alone
A
And you'll go down to the city
A
Where the boys are pretty
[Outro]
Asus4 Dsus4
Strong enough to be
Asus4 Dsus4
Standing in the way
Asus4 Dsus4
Of everything I see.
