[00:14.760]28, shouldn’t look this old
[00:17.320]But the last ten years sure took their toll
[00:20.770]On the girl in the picture with the plastic crown
[00:24.400]That sea queen dress wouldn’t fit her now
[00:28.150]Like it did
[00:31.570]Before the kids
[00:33.630].
[00:34.820]Yea she loves her husband ‘cause she said she would
[00:38.200]Oh it ain’t so good but it ain’t so good
[00:41.760]She swore she wouldn’t get stuck in this town
[00:45.200]Now she’s cutting coupons two doors down
[00:48.700]From a mall
[00:52.320]And it goes on
[00:54.510].
[00:55.700]Yea too bad love ain’t a local parade
[00:59.320]In your uncle’s Corvette on a Saturday
[01:02.700]With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
[01:06.260]When you’re 17
[01:09.070]You don’t know
[01:11.380]That you won’t always be
[01:15.570]Homecoming queen
[01:19.580].
[01:23.730]Newspaper clipping and a stash in a box
[01:27.110]Are the only things that didn’t get lost
[01:30.390]She married a guy on the real estate sign
[01:33.820]And it’s hard to believe once upon a time
[01:37.340]She was royalty
[01:40.340]The girl we all wanted to be
[01:43.540].
[01:44.540]Yea too bad love ain’t a local parade
[01:47.860]In your uncle’s Corvette on a Saturday
[01:51.180]With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
[01:54.810]When you’re 17
[01:57.460]You don’t know
[02:00.150]That you won’t always be
[02:04.120]Homecoming queen
[02:06.620].
[02:07.120]Or the captain of the team
[02:10.210]And it ain’t what it seems
[02:13.850]It’s just a teenage dream
[02:18.600].
[02:33.490]Too bad love ain’t a local parade
[02:36.430]In your uncle’s Corvette on a Saturday
[02:39.810]With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
[02:43.370]When you’re 17
[02:46.120]You don’t know
[02:48.870]You won’t always be
[02:53.240]You don’t know
[02:55.810]You won’t always be
[02:59.870]Homecoming queen
[03:02.900]
