(Verse)
|
28, shouldn’t look this old
|
But the last ten years sure took their toll
|
On the girl in the picture with the plastic crown
|
That sea queen dress wouldn’t fit her now
|
Like it did
|
Before the kids
|
|
(Verse)
|
Yea she loves her husband ‘cause she said she would
|
Oh it ain’t so good but it ain’t so good
|
She swore she wouldn’t get stuck in this town
|
Now she’s cutting coupons two doors down
|
From a mall
|
And it goes on
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Yea too bad love ain’t a local parade
|
In your uncle’s Corvette on a Saturday
|
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
|
When you’re 17
|
You don’t know
|
That you won’t always be
|
Homecoming queen
|
|
(Verse)
|
Newspaper clipping and a stash in a box
|
Are the only things that didn’t get lost
|
She married a guy on the real estate sign
|
And it’s hard to believe once upon a time
|
She was royalty
|
The girl we all wanted to be
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Yea too bad love ain’t a local parade
|
In your uncle’s Corvette on a Saturday
|
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
|
When you’re 17
|
You don’t know
|
That you won’t always be
|
Homecoming queen
|
|
(Bridge)
|
Or the captain of the team
|
And it ain’t what it seems
|
It’s just a teenage dream
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Too bad love ain’t a local parade
|
In your uncle’s Corvette on a Saturday
|
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
|
When you’re 17
|
You don’t know
|
You won’t always be
|
You don’t know
|
You won’t always be
|
Homecoming queen
