That's just my cowgirl alter-ego riding on her bar room bull
Dripping with the sweat of irony as the cowboys whoop and drool
Shooting glances at the mirror to see if her scar is showing
She is truly going nowhere tonight

Lecherous old lady wanna-be much too young and shy
Flailing her whole life just thinking she can teach herself to fly
Vehement romantic, frantic for forever right now
But forevers going nowhere tonight

Sick of goading her self-loathing, she thinks, I think I'd better leave
'Course whiskey makes me smarter and I'm happy as can be
But please excuse me, darlin'
It's not you, it's me

And there's a dusty old dust storm on Mars, they say
So tonight you can't see it too clear
Still I stood in line to look through their telescope
Looked like a distant ship light as seen from a foggy pier

And I know that I was warned
Still it was not what I hoped
Yes, I know that I was warned
Still it was not what I hoped

Well, I think I'm done gunnin' to get closer to some imagined bliss
I gotta knuckle down, just be okay with this

'Course that star struck girl is already someone I miss

As I swear some stuff you just see better from further away
And I think I communicate best now, the less I say
And I can't dance if the band can't play
And the vibe is going nowhere tonight

'Cause somewhere between Hollywood and it's pretty happiness
And an anguish so infinite, it's anybody's guess
Is a place where people are all teachers and this just one long class
And that ass will get you nowhere tonight

And there's a dusty old dust storm on Mars they say
So tonight you can't see it too clear
Still I stood in line to look through their telescope
Looked like a distant ship light as seen from a foggy pier

And I know that I was warned
Still it was not what I hoped
Yeah, I know that I was warned
Still it was not what I hoped

I think I'm done gunnin' to get closer to some imagined bliss
I gotta knuckle down, just be okay with this
I gotta knuckle down, just be okay with this
'Course that star struck girl is already someone I miss
