28, Shouldn'’t look this old

But the last 10 years sure took their toll

On the girl in the picture with the plastic crown

That sea queen dress wouldn’'t fit her now

Like it did

Before the kids

Yea she loves her husband ‘cause she said she would

Oh it ain’'t so good but it ain’t so good

She swore she wouldn'’t get stuck in this town

Now she’'s cutting coupons two doors down

From a mall

And it goes on

Yea too bad love ain'’t a local parade

In your uncle’s corvette on a saturday

With all the little girls waiting on you to wave

When you’'re 17

You don’'t know

That you won’'t always be

Homecoming queen

Newspaper clipping and a stash in a box

Are the only things that didn’t get lost

She married a guy on the real estate sign

And it’s hard to believe once upon a time

She was royalty

The girl we all wanted to be

Yea too bad love ain'’t a local parade

In your uncle’s corvette on a saturday

With all the little girls waiting on you to wave

When you’'re 17

You don'’t know

That you won'’t always be

Homecoming queen

Or the captain of the team

And it ain'’t what it seems

It’s just a teenage dream

Too bad love ain'’t a local parade

In your uncle’s corvette on a saturday

With all the little girls waiting on you to wave

When you’'re 17

You don'’t know

You won'’t always be

You don'’t know

You won'’t always be

Homecoming queen
