High School - Phil Vassar

We were kings and queens with teenage dreams

90 proof in a jacked-up Pontiac

The backseat was steaming, we were just eighteen

You moved off to Memphis and you never came back

I don’t know why I was just thinking of you today

And high school when everything was easy

Wasn’t nothing to worry about

So cool, life was such a breeze back then

We couldn’t wait until we got out

We’ve run a million miles to get away

And now we’d give anything for one more day

In high school

Let’s reminisce about our first kiss

Dances, corsages and boutonnieres

Somewhere between «random"and «we almost planned it»

The hands of fate have brought us here

For me to say the things I always meant to say but I didn’t say

In high school when everything was easy

Wasn’t nothing to worry about

So cool, life was such a breeze back then

We couldn’t wait until we got out

Now here we are, sitting here, over a couple of beers

Bringing back the years

In high school

Friday night, just a couple old friends

Laughing about, crying about

How we won some, we lost some

Been on top of the world and lonesome

Been knocked down but we’re still standing, baby

Most likely to succeed

The prettiest girl I’ve ever seen

You’ve been a song in my heart everywhere I’ve been

I’ve been crazy 'bout you, girl, since way back when

In high school when everything was easy

Wasn’t nothing to worry about

So cool, life was such a breeze back then

We couldn’t wait until we got out

Raise a glass to love and regret

Things we’ve done and haven’t done yet

In high school
