Swimming upstream in a southern city
the biggest fish need the biggest pond
ladies get invited to the good ole boys' party
If its 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 a white man’s dream

Whoo woo!

Raise your glass to the mighty Mississippi
And God bless a southern man
How quickly you forget my great great great grandmother
She died picking cotton
Stolen people slaving on stolen land

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 it’s a white man's dream

Whoo 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
But I’m still trying to let it go

Sometimes I wish I was a boy
So 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
Check one box won’t you choose one race
I’m a mixed girl rockin’ on a white man’s stage
You could be queer trans straight whatever maybe in between
I'm a girl sleepwalking in a white man's dream
I’m a girl sleepwalking it’s a white man’s dream

Whoo woo!

Change is a shifty thing
Songbirds you gotta sing (tweet tweet tweet tweet)
Someday she’s gonna rise and she’s gonna shine
Cause It was only a dream
