I can remember us cruising through town In your daddy's car with the top pulled down
Looking so cool We came from different sides of the track But we still held hands out back of the old school
We spent all our time together Laughing and having fun We swore that we'd love forever 'Cause that was the way things were done At the old school
We both made it to our graduation You chose a college I chose a vocation driving eighteen wheels I became a part of your past You went and married some guy in your class He was a big deal
Your picture was in all the papers You made such a lovely bride They said you were going places But me I just went for a ride Down by the old school
I got married to a sweet young girl And kept driving for the line Your husband made his mark on the world Then he left you behind
In the big house With the swimming pool Now you drive your kids Down to the old school
Now here we are at the reunion of the class You ask my wife if we could have one dance For the old times We slow danced across the old gym floor You whispered it could be just like before, Call me sometime
You asked if I understand you "Well, yes I'm afraid I do" You say everybody does it Well, I don't care if they do
I'm from the old school I'm from the old school Where hearts stay true I'm from the old school I thought you were too
