Boat Show Girl
Shimmering Dreams on Astroturf: Boat Show Girl's Unveiled Tale
Lyrics
You sparkle like a diamond
You radiate with brilliance, resembling a diamond.
Brighter than the boats you stand around
Your radiance surpasses that of the boats surrounding you.
Your gaze is somewhere yonder
Your focus is directed somewhere distant.
While men eye you up and down
Men are observing you with a critical eye.
Those five-inch heels ain't nothing
Your high heels are insignificant compared to what you left behind.
Compared to what you left back home
You don't feel cold despite wearing minimal clothing.
Yeah, you ain't even chilly
Even though you are exposed, you don't seem bothered.
Though you're wearing skin and bone
Reference to being thin or frail despite appearances.
You stand there on your altar
You stand confidently on a platform.
Astroturf beneath your feet
You're on fake grass, like a unique Statue of Liberty.
Like a redneck Statue of Liberty
A phrase is spoken as a greeting, reminiscent of Lady Liberty's message.
This phrase rings out as you greet
Reference to the iconic Statue of Liberty phrase.
Give me your tired, your poor
Asking for those who are weary, poor, and oppressed.
Your huddled masses waiting on the shore
Awaiting individuals seeking a new beginning.
May you board this fiberglass vessel
May you find fulfillment on this artificial vessel.
And not feel empty anymore
A wish for emotional completeness.
Cause freedom ain't that free
Reiteration of the theme that freedom has costs and happiness can be obtained with superficial means, drawing parallels between relationships and material possessions, particularly boats. The repetition emphasizes the message.
Happiness can be cheap
-For zero down and less than you spend
-On cigarettes every week
-You can take this beauty home
-And treat her like you should
-Just like every boat show girl
-Wishes that you would
-Your mascara's running
-It wins the foot race every time
-You're good at what you're doing
-You can stop em on a dime
-Bathed in sequins, a beacon
-Of when Daddy did you wrong
-Yeah, fake tan covers bruises
-But it doesn't last that long
-Cause freedom ain't that free
-Happiness can be cheap
-For zero down and less than you spend
-On cigarettes every week
-You can take this beauty home
-Treat her like you should
-Just like every boat show girl
-Wishes that you would
-Freedom ain't that free
-Happiness can be cheap
-For zero down and less than you spend
-On cigarettes every week
-You can take this beauty home
-Treat her like you should
-Just like every boat show girl
-Wishes that you would
-Yeah just like every boat show girl
The closing reminder that every woman in this context desires to be treated with respect and care.
Wishes that you would
