Class Of '57 Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

Tommy's selling used cars, Nancy's fixing hair 

Harvey runs a grocery store and Margaret doesn't care 

Jerry drives a truck for Sears and Charlotte's on the make 

And Paul sells life insurance and part time real estate 

Helen is a hostess, Frank works at the mill 

Janet teaches grade school and prob'ly always will 

Bob works for the city and Jack's in lab research 

And Peggy plays organ at the Presbyterian Church 

And the class of '57 had its dreams 

Oh, we all thought we'd change the world with our great works and deeds 

Or maybe we just thought the world would change to fit our needs 

The class of '57 had its dreams 

Betty runs a trailer park, Jan sells Tupperware 

Randy's on an insane ward and Mary's on welfare 

Charlie took a job with Ford and Joe took Freddie's wife 

Charlotte took a millionaire and Freddie took his life. 

John is big in cattle, Ray is deep in debt 

Where Mavis finally wound up is anybody's bet 

Linda married Sonny, Brenda married me 

And the class of all of us is just a part of history 

And the class of '57 had its dreams 

But living life day to day is never like it seems 

Things get complicated when you get past eighteen 

But the class of '57 had its dreams 

Oh, the class of '57 had its dreams
