Lyrics
The Class Of '57
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tommy's selling used cars
Nancy's fixing hair
Harvey runs a grocery store
And Margaret doesn't care
Jerry drives a truck for Sears
And Charlotte's on the make
And Paul sells life unsurance
And part time real estate
Helen is a hostess
Frank works at the mill
Jenett teaches grade school
And prob'ly always will
Bob works for the city
And Jack's in lab research
And Peggy plays organ
At the Presbiterian Church
And the class of '57 has dreams
We all thought we'd change the world
With our great works and deeds
Or maybe we just thought the world
Would change to fit our needs
The class of '57 had dreams
Betty runs a trailer park
Jan sells Tupperware
Randy's on an insane war
And Mary's on welfare
Charlie took a job with Ford
And Joe took Freddie's wife
Charlotte took a millionaire
And Freddie took his life
John is big in cattle
Ray is deep in debt
Where Marvis family wound up
Is anybody's bet
Linda married Sonny
And Brenda married me
And the class of all of us
Is just a part of history
And the class of '57 has dreams
But living life day to day
Is never like it seems
Things get complicated when
You get past eighteen
But the class of '57 had its dreams
Oh, the class of '57 had dreams...
