Old School (1986)
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 afraid I do
You say everybody does it but 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
