Class of '85
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.
Combin' a little grey hair back now
Tuckin' a larger shirt in
Twenty year reunion's comin' sooner than you think
Look how far we have come so quickly
Ain't we lucky
Just lucky to be alive
Class of '85
Lisa was my first love
So I never thought I'd lose her
I lost her to some college boy when the summer turned to fall
How I don't know
I wish her well though
She's in San Francisco
I sing in these dives
Class of '85
Melody loves company
Memory fading from view
Learning all those things
That we all thought we already knew
Tim ws my best friend back then
His girlfriend was my neighbor
They're married now but I don't even know
Their number anymore
Why I don't know
Where does the time go
This highway is so slow
All I do is drive
Daydream and drive
Melody loves company
Memory fading from view
Learning all those things
That we all thought we already knew
I wonder what they'll look like now
Or if they'll recognize me
I wonder if they'll even show up after all these years
See how much we have changed so quickly
Ain't we lucky though
Just lucky to be alive
Class of '85
