Town Square & The Old School - Rupert Holmes

I can remember us cruising through town

In your daddy’s car with the top pulled down

Looking so cool

We came from different sides of the track

But we still held hands out back of the old school

We spent all our time together

Laughing and having fun

We swore that we’d love forever

'Cause that was the way things were done

At the old school

We both made it to our graduation

You chose a college

I chose a vocation driving eighteen wheels

I became a part of your past

You went and married some guy in your class

He was a big deal

Your picture was in all the papers

You made such a lovely bride

They said you were going places

But me, I just went for a ride

Down by the old school

I got married to a sweet, young girl

And kept driving for the line

Your husband made his mark on the world

Then he left you behind

In the big house

With the swimming pool

Now you drive your kids

Down to the old school

Now here we are at the reunion of the class

You ask my wife if we could have one dance

For the old times

We slow danced across the old gym floor

You whispered it could be just like before

«Call me sometime»

You asked if I understand you

«Well, yes I’m afraid I do»

You say everybody does it

Well, I don’t care if they do

I’m from the old school

I’m from the old school

Where hearts stay true

I’m from the old school

I thought you were too
