Carlene — текст песни (Phil Vassar)

1st Verse

I was lousy at math, a failed historian
Carlene was the valedictorian, and I was
Quarterback in the back of the class, as
She was the whiz kid in the horned-rim glasses

2nd Verse

Been a long time since I`d been around
Since I set a foot on my old stompin` ground
I ended up by the ol` school yard
And this redhead pulls up in a blue sports car, and says
I`ll bet you don`t remember, I guess it`s been forever
It took a second to put it all together, I said

Chorus

Ooh, la la la la la, lookin` good, Carlene
Whoa, my my my my my, time has been good to you
(If) you know what I mean
(And) girl you glitter like Hollywood
Good God (gosh), Carlene, you sure are lookin` good

3rd Verse

She said, Hop in, let`s go for a spin
Tell me what you been doin` boy, and where you`ve been
I said, I write songs, you prob`ly didn`t know
And I finally got a couple out on country radio

4th Verse

She said, What a switch, ain`t life funny
I got a Ph.D, now I`m modelin` for money
Imagine little Miss 4.0 just
Smilin` for the camera on the cover of Vogue
I said, (You`ve) come a long way since graduation
Let me say without reservation
You`ve surpassed everyone`s expectations, now

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

I said, I hope to see you again someday
She said, Another ten years is too long to wait
Pick me up at my mama`s at eight
I said...

(Chorus Out)
