Beauty Queen

Muddy shoes beside her bed
Thoughts of you inside her head
Sheets that smell of gasoline
Been a long night for the beauty queen

Light flickers from a distant fire
Ask for the truth, she'll be the liar
The sight of you it turned her mean
Kiss and tell on the mezzanine

She's not one to reckon with
That was your last forever lasting kiss
Chair propped up against the knob of the bedroom door
Guess that oughta even up the score

Muddy shoes beside her bed
Thoughts of you inside her head
Sheets that smell of gasoline
Been a long night for the beauty queen

LOL! Quite funny when not serious. Love the repetitive verse! Yay, Mike! Nicely done, my friend!
