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
Yeah she loves her husband cause she said she would Oh it ain't so bad 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
Yeah 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
Newspaper clipping and a sash 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
Yeah 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
Or the captain of the team And it ain't what it seems It's just a teenage dream
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
