In a crooked little town, they will beat me to the ground
cuz im gay,cuz im gay,cuz im gay...and im brown

I hitched a ride, until the coast
To leave behind, all of my hoes
Searching for something, I couldn't find at home

Can't get no job, can you spare a dime?
Just one more hit, and I'll be fine
I swear to God, this'll be my one last time!

In a crooked little town, they will beat me to the ground
cuz im gay,cuz im gay,cuz im gay...and im brown
Run way out of town, or the kids will beat you down
if your gay,if your gay,if your gay....and your brown

When it gets dark, in Pigeon Park
Voice in my head, will soon be fed
By the vultures, that circle round the dead!

In a crooked little town, they will beat me to the ground
cuz im gay,cuz im gay,cuz im gay...and im brown
Run way out of town, or the kids will beat you down
if your gay,if your gay,if your gay...or your brown

I never once thought, I'd ever be caught!
Staring at sidewalks, hiding my skid marks!
I left my brown friends, or did they just leave me?

In a crooked little town, they will beat me to the ground
cuz im gay,cuz im gay,cuz im gay...and im brown
In a crooked little town, they will beat me to the ground
cuz im gay,cuz im gay,cuz im gay...and im brown
Run way out of town, or the kids will beat you down
if your gay,if your gay,if your gay...or your brown

Run way out of town!
if your gay,if your gay,if your gay...or your brown
Run way out of town!
if your gay,if your gay,if your gay...or your brown
