Dallas Youth Auxiliary
Cowboy Junkies

Me,

My sisters Ruth and Bethany

Are the Dallas Youth Auxiliary

Quote: “Founded when Catholics wouldn’t dream of your job…”

That’s the slogan our Daddy

Suggested for the welcome poster

He tore in two

Then he locked us in the garden shed

Said, “Come out when you’re not communists!”

Quote: “At least you’re not all lesbians like that Quaker next door.”

Ruth said: “How could we be?

When Nixon is the Dick for us three…”

He let us out!

We stole his keys

After Bethany

Took a shovel to his knees

Quote: “Take the wheel, I’ll hit the gas – off to the New Frontier…”

We left Daddy crawling

Across the front lawn - in our side-view mirror

Was the paperboy running mad, calling out, screaming out for a ride

And we’re taking off

While you’re touching down, down, down

Hearts and flags a flutter

Thighs ‘ll turn to butter

at Love Field

We jumped the curb of the parking lot

Ran to the tarmac, cut through the mob

Quote: “Peel that old bag from the fence, she’s not long for this world!”

And there was your smile,

like a gift behind the birthday wrapping

You took our hands


And our saddle shoes left the ground

Young debutantes over the crowd

Horn-rimmed glasses turned reflecting

On a thousand days of waiting

Teenage hearts in palpitation

Coming down from expectation

Cigarettes all ‘round

Then the blue rinse in the floral dress

Tore us off the chain link fence

Shook hands with the President, her fist full of our hair

On tip-toes and waving

Quote: “We hope your stay is breath-taking!”

It sure was for

Me

My sisters Ruth and Bethany

Of the Dallas Youth Auxiliary

Quote: “Founded when misery couldn’t hold down a job.”

Returned to the car to find

Behind a crutch pointed like a rifle,

Our daddy saying,

“Gotcha, girls…

I gotcha girls…

I gotcha girls…

I gotcha girls…

…Pow…

…Pow…

…Pow…
