Queen Maybelline - The Band Perry

Maybelline just turned fourteen didn’t get no birthday cake

Case 9173, she’s a custody of the state

She tells everybody she looks like her mama

Because she’s never seen her daddy’s eyes

Just a throw away baby from the 1980s

Another unwanted child yeah, yeah

Maybelline wears a turquoise ring that was found in her personal file

She assumes it was left as a clue that she might some day find

An aunt living in New Mexico or an uncle out in L. A

She knows they’re out there somewhere because she sees them every day

When she flies out of her mind

To a beautiful place with sunny skies

She’s free when she dreams

She’s Queen Maybelline

Maybelline’s got a polaroid of all the different families

The Howser’s, Gimmon’s, Nicholson’s

Another short term memory

She never winds up anywhere but they don’t ask her to leave

An invisible girl in a cruel, cruel world

Still can’t find some peace

When she flies out of her mind

To a beautiful place with sunny skies

She’s free when she dreams

She’s Queen Maybelline

She knows God don’t make mistakes

She believes there’ll come a day

When she’ll finally find her place yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

When she flies out of her mind

To a beautiful place with sunny skies

She’s free when she dreams

She’s Queen Maybelline

Free when she dreams

She’s Queen Maybelline

Free when she dreams

She’s Queen Maybelline

Hey, yeah

Hey, yeah

A little Maybelline

A little Maybelline

Hey yeah
