High School Lyrics - Kelsea Ballerini

He's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck 

And he's still wearing that red and black jersey 

Waiting for the band to start up 

He's still showing up twenty late, finding hearts and rules to break 

Why would he wanna change when every memory still bows to him? 

But this ain't high school 

Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool 

See her Friday, take her out after the football game 

'Cause it's five years later and you can't get off of the elevator 

That's going up, 'cause you're growing up 

And the world gets cruel when you're still living in high school 

He's still calling that first love, first time, pretty-eyed blonde 

And she's still letting it ring 'cause his ring isn't what she wants 

'Cause she traded in prom queen for a big city dream 

And a slate that's clean, but 

Your heart just don't get it and that's why you can't forget it 

'Cause you're living like you're seventeen

But this ain't high school 

Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool 

See her Friday, take her out after the football game 

'Cause it's five years later and you can't get off of the elevator 

That's going up, 'cause you're growing up and the world gets cruel when... 

You're still living in the hallways 

Where everybody stopped and stared 

And cared and knew your name 

Cause this is the real world that don't know you like that 

You can remember but you can't go back 

To high school 

Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool 

See her Friday when you take her out after the football game 

'Cause it's five years later and you can't get off of the elevator 

That's going up, 'cause you're growing up 

And the world gets cruel when you're still living in high school

When you're still living in... 

Five years later 

Oh yeah, oh yeah 

He's still calling that first love, first time 

And he hates he said goodbye, she went on with her life 

He's still driving the same old back roads 

Wondering when he got so old 

Where did his life go? 

Oh, but he knows 

Oh, he knows 

Yeah, he knows 

That this ain't high school, oh, woah 

And he's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck 

And he's stuck in high school 

But this ain't high school
