8th Grade Lyrics - Run The Earth Watch The Sky - Chris Rice

Take a little trip with me back to Junior High 

Set the time machine to 1975 

We'd 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 

Why does the past always seem safer? 

Maybe because at least we know we made it 

And why do we worry about the future? 

When every day will come just the way the Lord ordained it 

You can believe it, yeah, just like the 8th grade 

Step out into the hall and feel the moment pass 

Slam the locker, there's the bell, we're runnin' to class 

'Cause Mr. Jackson told us,"Don't be late for 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, I'm walkin' on air 

Then I hear my name, I missed the question, I mumble somethin' 

The class is laughing, oh I love the 8th grade 

Why does the past always seem safer? 

Maybe because at least we know we made it 

And why do we worry about the future? 

When every day will come just the way the Lord ordained it 

You can believe it, yeah, even the 8th grade 

Why does the past always seem safer? 

Maybe because at least we know we made it 

And why do we worry about the future? 

When every day will come just the way the Lord ordained it 

You can believe it, yeah, just like the 8th grade 

You can believe it, yeah, even the 8th grade
