Queen of the RodeoAlice in Chains

Songwriter: Layne Staley Jerry Cantrell

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I'm the queen, queen of the rodeo
Queen, queen of the rodeo
So cowboy, if you're looking for loving
I ain't no queer, go fuck a steer
I think there's one over there

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I'm the queen, queen of the rodeo
Queen, queen of the rodeo
So cowboy, if you're looking for loving
I ain't no queer, go fuck a steer
I think there's one over there

[Outro]
Queen, queen of the rodeo
Fuck you!
Queen, queen of the rodeo
Queen, queen of the rodeo

Alice in Chains

Alice in Chains are a Seattle-based rock band. They rose to international fame in the early 1990s as part of the ‘grunge’ movement. They are one of the most critically and commercially acclaimed acts of the 90s. Their first 3 studio albums all went multi-platinum and they have received 8 Grammy nominations for Best Hard Rock performance (sadly, never winning once).

Their unique sound comes from the harmonized vocals of co-founders Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell, as showcased in some of their biggest songs like “No Excuses” from Jar of Flies, “Angry Chair” from Dirt and “Again” from the self-titled album. Cantrell also serves as the primary songwriter and guitarist of the band.

The band was never restricted to grunge. Cantrell believes it to be heavy metal; and indeed a lot of modern heavy metal bands cite Alice in Chains as an influence, including Metallica for Death Magnetic.
