8th Grade

Take a little trip with me back to junior high
Set the time machine to 1975
We just found out that momma's gonna have another kid
Back in the 8th grade
Remember the days when life was not so mysterious
Follow me down the hall to the cafeteria
Where the worst thing i could mess up
Was dipping yesterday's corn dog in last week's ketchup
Back in the 8th grade
*chorus*
Why does the past always seem safer?
Maybe because at least we know me made it
And why do we worry about the future?
When every day will come just the way the Lord ordained it
We can believe it, yeah, just like the 8th grade
Step out in to the hall and feel the moments pass
Slam the locker, there's the bell, we're running to class
Cause mr jackson told us,"dont be late to geometry again"
We're back in the 8th grade
I drop my books, sit down and mess with my hair
Suzie looks at me and smiles, im walking on air
Then i hear my name, i missed the question, i mumble somethin
The class is laughing, oh i love the 8th grade
