Mae Jean Goes To Hollywood Lyrics

Honey when I brought you here, you said that you would sing
You said you'd 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 gettin' tired of hearin' people call you someone else
I'm gettin' used to see you go in the morning,
And eatin' supper by myself

Now this Hollywood producer has offered you the world
He lets you drive a sporty new Camaro
I wonder just how many girls he's told that story to
How many dreams have gone away in sorrow
I'm gettin' tired of bitin' my nails and pumpin' gasoline
I'm gettin' tired of waitin' for a year to figure out
Why this city isn't clean

Mae Jean, run back home with me
I'll go back to workin' on your daddy's farm
Mae Jean, run back home with me
This wicked city is 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 you're just 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 slip into the sea
