Lyrics

Swimming upstream in a southern city
The biggest fish need the biggest pond
Ladies get invited to the good ole boys' party
If it’s low cut, D-cup, platinum blonde
I don’t sing much about boats
I never even owned a truck neither
I know tail lights, state lines, loading out late nights
Cruisin’ the country with the 18-wheelers
Sometimes I wish I was a boy
So I could be the All-American they wanted
Cause I can write, I can play, I can sing
I’m a girl sleepwalking in a white man's dream
I’m a girl sleepwalking in some white man’s dream
hoo woo!
(Genesis, Kfo, Let’s Go, yeah, listen)
It was all a dream
until it was all a scheme
Red lines, blue signs it was all for green
Promises for the cream as we rise to the top
But everybody got their shot, and they lost the plot
Now I
came here
to represent for the melanin rich
And the fros with the pigs don’t trip
Evidence
Ladies be pimps too
never let your spark die
Be light and stay true
Sometimes I wish I was a boy
So I could check off all the boxes like they wanted
Not a master or a slave, guess I’m something between
I’m a girl sleepwalking in a white man's dream
I’m a girl sleepwalking in some white man's dream
hoo woo!
Rainbow babes, you can change your names
if the pronouns don’t fit right
Jesus saves, he said love the little children
Nah, you don’t have to fit in
Cause they’re all ones and zeros
And in you is a hero
Sometimes I wish I was a boy
I could be Mr. Right, right out of Central Casting
Am I pretty am I handsome, maybe something in between
I’m a girl sleepwalking in a white man's dream
Won’t you check one box, won’t you choose one race
Well, I’m a mixed girl rockin’ on a white man’s stage
You could be queer trans straight whatever maybe in between
You could be a girl sleepwalking in a white man's dream
You could be a girl sleepwalking it’s a white man’s dream
hoo woo!
Change is a shifty thing
Beautiful thing (it’s a beautiful thing)
Songbirds, you gotta sing (tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet hoo woo)
Someday, she’s gonna rise oh yeah she’s gonna shine
Cause it was only a dream
