Lyrics

I was just a waitress At the greasy spoon I saw NYC on TV And then howled at the moon I told my lover of my plan He looked me in the eye He said I never would do nothing But have three kids and die I just wanna have 30k To prove my lover wrong I just wanna have 30k To show that I belong Off the bus from Michigan Primed to make my name Mama said ambition Would only bring me shame What about your family Your bed and three hot meals But if I stayed I'd never leave The prison of endless fields I just wanna have 30k To prove my mama wrong I just wanna have 30k To show that I belong I'll work for big fat businessmen And dress in tiny skirts I'll scrounge up some designer heels And wear them 'til it hurts When cousins write me letters And flaunt their rings real mean I'll pretend I'm glamorous And I work for the queen I just wanna have 30k To prove my cousins wrong I just wanna have 30k To show that I belong They say the city will spit you out And show you what you're made of I'm not made of cornstalks Unlike all those haters The fire inside burned that life down And so I had to leave it Only once I got here Did I truly believe it I can't be a waitress I've given up too much I'd put on that apron And crumble at its touch Two more weeks without a job Will send me on my way But I'll just get me 30 g's And then I'll be okay I just wanna have 30k, 30k, 30k To prove my old self wrong I just wanna have 30k, 30k, 30k To show that I belong
