High School Reunion

Sittin' 'round the table
In this big old country hall
Welcome class of 2013
Is written on the wall
Champagne glasses clinkin'
And I can't help but thinkin'
"God, help me"

Shelly's on her second husband
Betty's on her second kid
And Mary's on her second shot
A whiskey, just to get through this
We're all just older versions of the
Yearbook pictures that we used to be

In the blink of just ten years
We're wonderin', "How the hell did we get here?"

Take me back to when we were just 17
We ruled the world, we knew who we were gonna be
And then life came along and killed our teenage dream
And now we're nowhere near where we thought we would be
By our high school reunion, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh

Who's done things to their faces?
Who sat still, who went places?
Whatever happened to that beauty queen
We all voted most likely to succeed

And though it all worked out somehow
If our younger selves could only see us now

Take me back to when we were just 17
We ruled the world, we knew who we were gonna be
And then life came along and killed our teenage dream
And now we're nowhere near where we thought we would be
By our high school reunion, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh
High school reunion, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh

And as for me, they all said I'd be a superstar
But here I am, it's 3 am
Singing alone in this old bar

So take me back to when we were just 17
We ruled the world, we knew who we were gonna be
And then life came along and killed our teenage dream
And now we're nowhere near where we thought we would be
By our high school reunion, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh
By our high school reunion, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh
