Countrypolitan Girl
Words and music by Serene Dominic

Produced by San Jacinto Prison Band

lyrics

He can only detain her, she's on every third page of newspaper
She did him a favor and if the movie gets released he might probably pay her
Countrypolitan girl, Mama's pride and pearl
She haunts this white picket world
She don't wear painted on jeans
She dresses like the Opry queens
Back when they used to turn heads
In their fringes and their epaulets
Hair in a perpetual curl
Countrypolitan girl

He was a charmer, he could  sell you a Christmas tree in the summer
He promised her stardom but he embezzled her future with his Faustian bargain
But Countrypolitan girl managed to evade
His criminal escapades
He's a one man Bialystock and Bloom
He never could seal her door
In his plastic film can tomb
Now she's made it off to Dollywood
One letter off but twice as good
Countrypolitan girl

Now if you hear someone say
That fame and fortune are just a boot scoot away
Don't pay them no heed
The documentarian did a dastardly deed
But Countrypolitan girl
She of the big blue eyes
Drove off in a new sunrise
She ditched the vampire fiends
They sunk their fangs in different things

Lost her mama when she was young
Now every country song that's sung
Sounds just like a lullaby
Bye Bye Countrypolitan girl, Mama's pride and pearl
She haunts this white picket world
She don't wear painted on jeans
She dresses like the Opry queens
When her future came to call
Like a broken record on a wall
She recognized her Lucifer
Countrypolitan girl

She's that Countrypolitan girl

San Jacinto Prison Band Phoenix, Arizona

When San Jacinto Prison Warden William Crosley realized the Scared Witless program his facility introduced was not deterring kids from pursuing a life of crime and in fact was creating new felons daily. To that he formed the San Jacinto Death Row Prison Band. "Every last one of the musicians is one overturned sentence from frying in a strapping chair," said Crosley diplomatically. ... more
