Partners - Barbara Mandrell

We used to ride the trail together

You were Roy and I was Dale

We chased the bad guys out of our home neighborhood

Then we were prince and princess

Of Greenfield Elementary

We were partners even then it was understood

In junior high you kissed me

Cause I’d never been kissed before

Holding hands we walked home from school and dreamed

You gave me your high school ring

Before you’d worn it once

And I led the cheers for my partner on the team

Partners we used to be partners

Facing life together side by side

Partners we used to be partners

But I guess some partners can’t be man and wife

After graduation

We spoke our wedding vows

And promised to be partners all our lives

But you’re not Roy and I’m no Dale

And we’re not prince and princess

And making believe we’re still in love ain’t right

Partners we used to be partners

Facing life together side by side

Partners we used to be partners

But I guess some partners can’t be man and wife

No I guess some partners can’t be man and wife
