Living in High Society

Thinking back on nights beneath the soft streetlights
Us playing in the back of his car
And the good old crowd and the band playing loud
And the parties at the railroad bar
But things became so complicated
Once that debutante he dated
Whispered in his ears and dragged him out of here

High society, has pulled him far away from me
That small town boy in my memory
Now thinks he's way above me
Living in high society

I felt so small when he gave me the call
And said he was flying to France
With his jet set friends for a wild weekend
In a cumberbund and silk pants
As his voice on the phone grew softer
Amidst the music of Gershwin and Porter
I cried "oh no, say it isn't so"

High society, has pulled him far away from me
That small town boy in my memory
Now thinks he's way above me
Living in high society

He was lost in fantasy when he'd watch
Asataire and Kelly in that movie
Now he's gone from pumping gas to hanging
With the upper class
But one day he'll miss how it used to be

Just you under the moon
And beneath the sun

Someday soon he's gonna miss my room
And the loyal friend that we once had
And the rich, rich food from that silver spoon
Is gonna mess up his stomach real bad
And he will feel like a fish out of water
When that love he found he can't afford her
And when he'll see what he had with me was

High society that's what he had all along for free
So when he comes around here and when he finds me
I'll be sitting pretty laughing at high society
High society, oh it dragged him far away from me

So when he comes around here and when he finds me
I'll be sitting pretty laughing at high society

Laughing at high society

Laughing at high society
