My daddy was a trucker
Left home when I was three
He fell for some dude in Austin
Then it was mom and me
She always wanted a daughter
Well look at what she got
A'hit me, beat me, a faggot I ain't
But a real man they say I'm not
I'm the queen, queen of the rodeo
Queen, queen of the rodeo
So cowboy, if you're lookin for lovin'
I ain't no queer, go fuck a steer
"I think there's one over there..."
I drink too much, I smoke too much
I'm a human waste
I buy a lot of cheap alcohol
But I'll tell ya honey, I really hate the taste
I dressed in drag, they call me a fag
But boy, I really don't care
Cause last night I met your girlfriend, sucker
And I hope ya like to share, cause she did
I'm the queen, queen of the rodeo
Queen, queen of the rodeo
So cowboy, if you're lookin to fight
I ain't no wimp, I scratch and bite
"And I'm gonna kick your ass too..."
Queen, queen of the rodeo
FUCK YOU!
Queen, queen of the rodeo
Queen, queen of the rodeo

    General Comment:Keep in mind that the band was into the "glam" scene of the 1980's - the whole big hair, speed metal thing that was popular at the time. Layne was in a band that dressed in drag. This song likely pokes fun at the fact that they were probably called fags a lot.

    General Comment:this song was about the actual writers (David Dunihoo) adoulecent. his step dad was a total douche, people were always judging him, and he is still to this day a heavy smoker. Alice in Chains stole it from him.

    General Comment:I love this song. It's basically a rambling type song from way back when, when Alice in Chains was Alice 'n' Chainz, the early version of Alice in Chains, a band which Layne says "Dressed in drag and played speed metal". So that's about it.

    I love the humor packed in these two lines. Considering how dark most of AIC's material is, this is refreshing. Not that I hate the dark numbers.

It just sounds like Layne and the boys were dickin around when they recorded it (and there's nothing wrong with havin a little fun at work) I love playin the live version at night drivin around with my buddies. FUCK YOU! I dedicate this to the god damn cops in Erie. fuckin pigs

    General Comment:this song is no way about homophobia you dumbasses. it was made out of humor but Layne's friend for Layne to perform. plus Layne did not like gays.
