She's Still There Lyrics - More - Trace Adkins

Darlin' here's a photograph of my old high school class 

No I ain't been back in quite a while 

See there that's Emma Lou, the one I gave my heart to 

But there's a story you can't see behind her smile 

It was gonna last forever, we were gonna see the world 

So I guess you're curious just what became of her, well 

She's still there in Oklahoma 

She's still seventeen 

She's livin' with her Mama 

Workin' at the Dairy Queen 

And she's still standin' on the front porch 

With a red ribbon in her hair 

The rest of us have scattered everywhere 

But she's still there 

Everett went to Omaha, he majored in business law 

Jill's in Arkansas with husband number two 

That's her best friend Jolene, she joined up with the Marines 

I hear Billy Green's on a beach in Malibu 

Yes and Emma would be happy if she could only see us now 

'Cause we're livin' out the lives that she only dreamed about 

She's still there in Oklahoma 

She's still seventeen 

She's livin' with her Mama 

Workin' at the Dairy Queen 

And she's still standin' on the front porch 

With a red ribbon in her hair 

The rest of us have scattered everywhere 

But she's still there 

Lord, I know I'll never see her 

With silver in her hair 

I know she's really gone 

But in my heart I'd swear 

She's still there in Oklahoma 

She's still seventeen 

She's livin' with her Mama 

Workin' at the Dairy Queen 

And she's still standin' on the front porch 

With a red ribbon in her hair 

The rest of us have scattered everywhere 

But she's still there 

Emma's still there
