I can remember
us cruisin' through town
In your daddy's car
with the top pulled down,
lookin' 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
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, 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 stool
Now, here we are
at the reunion of the class
You asked my wife
if we could have one dance
for the old times
We're slow dancing
across the old gym floor
You whisper it could be just like before,
call me sometime
You ask if I understand you,
well yes I'm afraid I do
You say everybody does it,
but I don't care if they do
I'm from the old school,
old school,
I'm from the old school, old school,
where hearts stay true, old school,
I'm from the old school,
I thought you were too
