Intro: E A B <--(3 times)
VERSE 1:
I was lousy at math, a failed historian
Carlene was the valedictorian
I was the quarterback in the back of class
She was the whiz kid in horned rim glasses
It's been a long time since I've been around
Since I stepped foot on my old stomping ground
I ended up by the old school yard
And this red head pulls up in a blue sports car
And says, "I bet you don't remember, I guess it's been forever."
It took a second to put it all together and I said...
CHOURUS:
Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
Girl you glitter like Hollywood
Good gosh Carlene
You sure are lookin good
VERSE 2:
She said, "Hop in let's go for a spin
Tell me whatcha been doing boy and where you been"
I said, "I write songs, you probably didn't know, but I
Finally got a couple out on country radio"
She said, "What a switch, ain't life funny, I've got a
Ph.D now I'm modeling for money."
Imagine little miss 4 point 0 just
Smiling for the camera on the cover of Vogue
I said, "You've come a long way since graduation, let me say without
reservation
You've surpassed everyone's expectations"
Pre-Chourus:
I said, "I hope to see you again someday"
She said, "Another ten years is too long to wait
Pick me up at my momma's at eight"
I said...
CHORUS
