Movie Queen Lyrics - Bill Anderson

This is a song about a girl from the bayou down in Louisiana country 

The story simply says 

She left home at sixteen said she was gonna be a movie queen 

Said her hometown was just too small and she had roaches and rats wall to wall 

So without a bag of beans she made a change of scenes 

Hitched a ride up to New Orleans 

With just the clothes on her back and a little brown sack 

Said hello to the city where she would learn to act 

Gonna be a movie queen gonna be on the big wide screen 

Fancy clothes and diamond rings have all the better things 

She took a part time job at the Burger King 

Went to school at night oh she was doin' her things 

Then she started hangin' out with the evening crowd 

Gettin' high acclaim before she knew it she was all strung out 

She still had that dream of bein' a movie queen 

So she decided she'd have to leave New Orleans 

Hollywood bound but with her feet on the ground 

When she got to the city she took a look around 

Said gonna be a movie queen...
