Letra Miss america Brandon Flowers

Miss america

I’m writing you this letter
If you ain’t figured out
We’re up in Utah now
At my parents’ house
You should see these mountains
You know I hate the snow
But when it falls like ashes
It’s?kind?of?pretty though
They got?a car wash?here
I think it’s still in use
Where Kevin Bacon and Chris Penn filmed
That scene in Footloose

The girls are doing fine
Grandma’s pride and joy
She wants to know when I’m gonna
Give her a little boy
Dad says he sure hop?s
It doesn’t come from you
On account of all this hell
That you put m? through
Last time he saw proof
It ended up in blood
My little brother watched
My mama cleaned it up

And you used to call me Miss America
Before you got hooked on speed
How much longer will it take 'til we're enough?
To be the only thing you need?

Your sister, she don’t blame me
For being scared of you
I know you did things to her
A brother shouldn’t do
Or all guys like this
You make it hurt so much
A girl that ought to be handled
With a gentle touch
Maybe I’ll go and get me
A Mormon boy
One who treats me like a queen

And you used to call me Miss America
Before you got hooked on speed
How much longer will it take 'til we're enough
To be the only thing you need?

You know the messed up thing
If the truth be told
Grown men have noticed me
Since I was 12 years old
It always made me feel
Like some kind of prize
I guess I saw my worth
Through their porno eyes
If Jesus really suffered
And paid for all this sin
Then why do we still feel it
Again and again?
