Miss America Lyrics

There's a girl I saw with a face that wouldn't let me be

She told me her name and I said I've always loved Darlene

The way she walked I would have followed her off a tower

She had a peace sign tattoo that she had made into a flower

She said I know what you're thinking

But I don't hear a word you say

I've heard every line there is anyway

I keep trying to make a square peg round

But I haven't found one yet that could stick around

And I get the feeling you think I'm the girl of your dreams

You might oughta go back to sleep

She had the eyes of an irritated beauty queen, with a face that could tell you why

If you look real close you see her losing her race with time

She looked at me kinda side-eyed and flicked away her cigarette

And walked away in a rhythm I won't ever forget

Well I know what you're thinking but I don't hear a word you say

Everyone I know's already told me so anyways

I keep trying to make my square peg round

But I haven't found one yet that will stick around

And I think I just saw the next girl of my dreams

Or maybe I'm still asleep

Well this is who I am, this is what I got, taking tickets in this parking lot

Hoping one day Miss America's gonna come around

But if not I won't be carried away, there's a new one showing up here everyday

Maybe I'll get lucky and the next one won't turn me down

And she'll see why I'm holding out

Well I know what you're thinking but I don't hear a word you say

Everyone I know's already told me so anyways

Well, this is who I am, this is what I got, taking tickets in this parking lot

Hoping one day Miss America will come around

And maybe we'll just hang out
