I made my way home
It's been a long hard road
Never thought I'd come back
But here I am

Was told I'd never fit in
All my feelings were forbidden
But even in all of that darkness
I found my light

So what? I wasn't cool
Got bullied every year in high school
But I wasn't gonna lock my heart up
Cowboy up, boy, knew I had to show 'em up

Come out
Stand proud
Raise your voice, snatch the crown
Shake up your home town
Join the queer chorus now

Yippee-kai-yai-yay in the wild, wild west
Spotlight on a boy wearing boots and a dress
I'm screaming out over the noise
That says I'm not supposed to go kissing other cowboys
I got grit, got drive, a heart full of pride
Haters step aside, I'm 'bout to to enter the scene
Ain't it 'bout time we crown the homecoming queen?

Wasted too many years
Choking on my own tears
But a phoenix can't rise up from the ashes
If nothing burns

Now this queen has returned
I gained all that I earned
I learned being queer means more than strange
An encouraging word for a homo on the range

Yippee-kai-yai-yay in the wild, wild west
Spotlight on a boy wearing boots and a dress
I'm screaming out over the noise
That says I'm not supposed to go kissing other cowboys
I got grit, got drive, a heart full of pride
Haters step aside, I'm 'bout to to enter the scene
Ain't it 'bout time we crown me? (What?)

Not the only one out here, I'm not the only queen
Just a tumbleweed tumblin' cross the plains of Wyoming
A place where Matthew Shepard now lives in the past tense
But we can't let our stories be tied to a fence

In my defense, our first assents should be a cattle call, a battle cry
To guide kids who are special, who are taught that they're not
We forgot that love is love and it cannot be stopped
This state is open-carry and I'm done throwin' away my shot

Still tumblin' not fumblin' over rhymes, under rays
Be the sun that breaks through the wildfire haze -- Be gay!
Don't let 'em get you down, 'cause it's impossible to drown
A big fish in a small town

Yippee-kai-yai-yay in the wild, wild west
Spotlight on a boy wearing boots and a dress
Life would be better if we lived in a world
Where a girl could go and kiss every cowgirl
I got grit, got drive, I'm staying alive
Knew I'd be driving stick long before I could drive, you see
Ain't it 'bout time we crown me?

Yippee-kai-yai-yay in the wild, wild west
Spotlight on a boy wearing boots and a dress
Screaming out over the noise
Who cares? I'm gonna kiss every single cowboy
I got grit, got drive, a heart full of pride
Come on, girl step aside, I'm western royalty
(She's on the scene, you know what I mean, yeah)
Bitches bow down, give a crown to your homecoming queen
