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 |
