lyrics

Dorothy wakes up in her old S10
Flips her Toto's Greatest Hits cassette over again
She's done rolled in the hay and scraped all the tin
And taken every ounce of courage from all the men
On the old brick road back home

Gets her news updates in a gas station line
Says the kids are walkin' out and going home
The rest of you suckers gotta fight to get stoned
But Dorothy don't care and she hits the door
And laughs I wonder when they're gonna realize
They ain't in Kansas anymore

Bad weather comes and blows you away
Pray to God you're someplace you wanna stay
The man behind the curtain is buyin' your meals
But all he wants from you honey is to click your heels

Dorothy heads south it's warmer down there
She likes what the sunlight does to her hair
And those ruby red boots her prize possessions
She scores a little weed for a pretty boy's affections

Don't let them drop a house on your dreams
Don't be a part of somebody's else's schemes
The man behind the curtain is only a fraud
I'm gonna get you my pretty my hand to God
