Mary Gauthier (born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana) is an American folk singer/songwriter. At age 15, she ran away from home and stole her parents' car, and spent the next several years in detox, halfway houses, and living with friends; she spent her 18th birthday in jail. These experiences provided fodder for her songwriting later on (particularly her song "Drag Queens in Limousines"). Later on, she enrolled at Louisiana State University as a philosophy major, but after five years there, dropped out due to drug problems and moved to Boston. After working waitress jobs and eventually being promoted to manager of the restaurant where she worked, financial backers paid her way to attend the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts and she opened a Cajun restaurant in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood, "Dixie Kitchen" (also the title of her first album).

Just Say She's A Rhymer Lyrics

Mary Gauthier

When they ask about us
As friends always do
Remember the good times
Honey, we had a few
I'll never condemn you
I'll take all the blame
You got a good answer
When they speak my name

Just say she's a rhymer
And rhymers get restless
Just say that she's out there in search of a song
I know I hurt you
But I never meant to
Just say she's a rhymer
Just say she's gone

You know that I loved you
You know that I tried
You know that it hurt me
Each time that you cried
When your crying is over
And your new life begins
I won't be around much
So when you see our friends

Just say she's a rhymer
And rhymers get restless
Just say that she's out there in search of a song
I know I hurt you
But I sure never meant to
Just say she's a rhymer
Just say she's gone
Just say she's a rhymer
Just say she's gone
