High School

[00:12.89] He's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck

[00:19.15] And he's still wearing that red and black jersey

[00:23.68] Waiting for the band to start up

[00:25.90] He's still showing up twenty late, finding hearts and rules to break

[00:30.64] Why would he wanna change when every memory still bows to him?

[00:38.64] But this ain't high school

[00:42.65] Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool

[00:47.90] See her Friday, take her out after the football game

[00:52.64] 'Cause it's five years later and you can't get off of the elevator

[00:59.14] That's going up, 'cause you're growing up

[01:02.14] And the world gets cruel when you're still living in high school

[01:11.39] He's still calling that first love, first time, pretty-eyed blonde

[01:17.65] And she's still letting it ring 'cause his ring isn't what she wants

[01:24.64] 'Cause she traded in prom queen for a big city dream

[01:29.15] And a slate that's clean, but

[01:31.64] Your heart just don't get it and that's why you can't forget it

[01:34.87] 'Cause you're living like you're seventeen

[01:37.13] But this ain't high school

[01:41.15] Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool

[01:46.14] See her Friday, take her out after the football game

[01:50.89] 'Cause it's five years later and you can't get off of the elevator

[01:57.40] That's going up, 'cause you're growing up and the world gets cruel when

[02:02.90] You're still living in the hallways

[02:07.41] Where everybody stopped and stared

[02:09.91] And cared and knew your name

[02:12.90] 'Cause this is the real world that don't know you like that

[02:16.65] You can remember but you can't go back

[02:19.89] To high school

[02:23.13] Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool

[02:28.14] See her Friday when you take her out after the football game

[02:33.17] 'Cause it's five years later and you can't get off of the elevator

[02:39.40] That's going up, 'cause you're growing up

[02:42.88] And the world gets cruel when you're still living in high school

[02:51.15] When you're still living in it

[02:53.14] Five years later

[02:58.89] Oh yeah, oh yeah

[03:05.14] He's still calling that first love, first time

[03:08.14] And he hates he said goodbye, she went on with her life

[03:11.64] He's still driving the same old back roads

[03:14.89] Wondering when he got so old

[03:16.65] Where did his life go?

[03:18.64] Oh, but he knows

[03:19.90] Oh, he knows

[03:21.64] Yeah, he knows

[03:24.38] That this ain't high school, oh, woah

[03:31.16] And he's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck

[03:36.39] And he's stuck in high school

[03:43.90] But this ain't high school
