Lyrics
Final version
You my Axl Rose husband
Blue hydrangea
White Pontiac heaven
Me, your red, white, and blue girl
Star spangled danger
You my heavy metal king, king
I said, "Daddy, I need you." (yes)
Greenwich, I need you
Strangled up in ivy
I'm the garden of Eden
Lady Liberty
Teal whip flame I'm shinin', queen, queen
You're my one king daddy
I'm your little queen, red, white, and blue
You're my one king daddy
And I'm your little queen, red, white, and blue
White and blue
(White and blue)
(White and blue)
Record executive, I
Need you to live, I
Someone come replace you
Should I happen to meet you
Downtown, or see you
I would fall down dead
I'm bereaved by you, bereaved by you
In blue denim I meet you
Barefoot, I need you
Diamond horseshoe sparklin'
You're my king Jewish maven
Kids on vacation
Florida Keys are calling
Come back to me
Come back to me
Demo version
My Axl Rose husband
Blue hydrangea
White Pontiac heaven
I'm your red, white, and blue girl
Star spangled danger
You my heavy metal king
Yeah, yeah, king, yeah, yeah
You're my king champion
I'm your little queen, red, white, and blue
You're my king champion
I'm your little queen, red, white, and blue
You're my one king, daddy
I'm your little queen, red, white, and blue
You're my one king, daddy
And I'm your little queen, red, white and blue
White and blue, white and blue
Heavy metal
