Old School Lyrics - Classics - John Conlee

I can remember us cruising through town 

In your daddy's car with the top pulled down 

Looking so cool 

We came from different sides of the track 

But we still held hands out back of the old school 

We spent all our time together 

Laughing and having fun 

We swore that we'd love forever 

'Cause that was the way things were done 

At the old school 

We both made it to our graduation 

You chose a college 

I chose a vocation driving eighteen wheels 

I became a part of your past 

You went and married some guy in your class 

He was a big deal 

Your picture was in all the papers 

You made such a lovely bride 

They said you were going places 

But me I just went for a ride 

Down by the old school 

I got married to a sweet young girl 

And kept driving for the line 

Your husband made his mark on the world 

Then he left you behind 

In the big house 

With the swimming pool 

Now you drive your kids 

Down to the old school 

Now here we are at the reunion of the class 

You ask my wife if we could have one dance 

For the old times 

We slow danced across the old gym floor 

You whispered it could be just like before 

Call me sometime 

You asked if I understand you 

"Well, yes I'm afraid to do" 

You say everybody does it 

Well, I don't care if they do 

I'm from the old school 

I'm from the old school 

Where hearts stay true 

I'm from the old school 

I thought you were too
