Queer Kids in Red States

She was six or seven
And wanna watch the dancin' on TV
She knew her Mom didn't like Ellen
But dancin' was somethin' she wanted to see
The dancin' was somethin' she had to see

The summer he turned thirteen
The minute his folks'd walk out the door
He'd cuddle his dog, wear his Mom's red shoes and say
We're not in Kansas anymore
We're not in Kansas anymore

You may feel alone but I swear it's not the case
You can make it through I'm talkin' to you
Queer Kids in Red States

Comin' ta end their senior year
They weren't a girl they weren't a boy
To learn of thing called genderqueer
Well it spiked their senior year with joy
It filled their queer little heart with joy

Won't ya listen to Uncle Dan
It can get better I know that it can
Don't ya quit you can make it right
If ya learn to breathe or learn to leave
Or learn how to stay and fight

He came out at seventy
Retirin' from the university
He didn't know what would come to be
But I'd never seen him so young and free
I'd never seen him so young and free

You may feel alone but I swear it's not the case
You can make it through I'm talkin' to you
Queer Kids in Red States
