Fat and Famous

Frizzy hair and glasses

At the back of the class

You made fun of me on Friday nights

I was down there in the band

You were up there in the stands

And now who's voted 'Most Likely to Hate Their Life'

You got fat, I got famous

Ain't that funny how it changes

You made fun of me for years

I get paid to play my songs

I got a headline gig in Austin

You got a closet drinking problem

And a juvenile delinquent

Souvenir from Senior Prom

I got a Budweiser endorsement

You're re-financing your mortgage

How's it feel to make those payments?

You got fat and I got famous

You cheated off my papers

And ignored me in the hall

Drove a daddy's money Mustang around town

I drove a rusty pile of tin

That you loved to go by me in

It looks a lot like that heap you're driving now

You got fat, I got famous

Ain't that funny how it changes

You made fun of me for years

I get paid to play my songs

I got a headline gig in Austin

You got a prayer-chain gossip column

And a pack of crappy friends

And an ass just like your mom

My guitar player says I'm sexy

I strum his Tele, when he lets me

It's a bitch the way life changes

You got fat and I got famous

You know it's nice to sing about the truth every now and then

Truth is; karma and gravity

Yeah well, they're the same thing

I got a Budweiser endorsement

You're re-financing your mortgage

Ain't that a bitch?

The way life changes

'Cause you got fat and I got famous
