Homecoming Queen Lyrics - Singles - Brandy Clark

Twenty-eight, shouldn't look this old 

But the last ten 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 

Yeah, she loves her husband 'cause she said she would 

Oh, it ain't so bad 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 

Yeah, 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 seventeen 

You don't know 

That you won't always be 

Homecoming queen 

Newspaper clipping and a sash 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 

Yeah, 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 seventeen 

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 seventeen 

You don't know 

You won't always be 

You don't know 

You won't always be 

Homecoming queen
