Yearbook

Most likely to get married, class of 1980 It's there in black and white up on a shelf Damn, they look so happy Wish Mom had kept that jacket And Dad had kept the Firebird he had to sell And I guess they stayed together just because they wrote forever On the inside of the cover by their names They were in love, you can read it I guess I've just only seen it in a red ink heart around my father's face They've lived in the same house for almost forty years now But the last day they were on the same page Was in a yearbook, mm They never saw it coming, from the bleachers at homecoming That she'd work late and he'd hide cigarettes They're still high school sweethearts, just without the good parts That fifteen yard line grass was green as theirs would ever get And I guess they stayed together just because they wrote forever On the inside of the cover by their names They were in love, you can read it I guess I've just only seen it in a red ink heart around my father's face They've lived in the same house for almost forty years now But the last day they were on the same page Was in a yearbook Ooh, too bad the pages only turn one way Ooh, and it's too damn hard to look at yesterday And I guess they stayed together just because they wrote forever On the inside of the cover by their names They were in love, you can read it I guess I've just only seen it in a red ink heart around my father's face They've lived in the same house for almost forty years now But the last day they were on the same page Was in a yearbook Ooh, ooh Was in a yearbook --- Yearbook - Ingrid Andress
