Sweet Lil Tammy Cakes

All Tammy wanted to be since she was three
was to grow into a hard working Midwesterner’s wife
All Tammy dreamed that she would need was to be sweet
and cut his apples open with a monogrammed bread knife
But then she turned five and saw daddy kiss goodnight
A woman who wasn’t mommy out her bedroom door
She knew Santa had died and everybody lies
and she believed in trust no more
Now Tammy is grown and what she knows is that you choose to see
what makes you happy or makes you sad and that’s not reality
So to escape old beliefs and remain mentally free all she does is get high
And now when some country boy promises true love for sure
She takes his wallet and in the morning waves goodbye
