Most likely to get married, class of 1980
It's there in black and white up on a shelf
Damn, they look so happy
Wish mom had kept that jacket
And dad had kept the Firebird he had to sell
And I guess they stayed together
Just because they wrote forever
On the inside of the cover by their names
They were in love, you can read it
I guess I've just only seen it
In a red ink heart around my father's face
They've lived in the same house for almost 40 years now
But the last day they were on the same page
Was in a yearbook
Mm-mm
They never saw it coming
From the bleachers at homecoming
That she'd work late and he'd hide cigarettes
They're still high school sweethearts
Just without the good parts
That fifty-yard line grass was green
As theirs would ever get
And I guess they stayed together
Just because they wrote forever
On the inside of the cover by their names
They were in love, you can read it
I guess I've just only seen it
In a red ink heart around my father's face
They've lived in the same house for almost 40 years now
But the last day they were on the same page
Was in a yearbook
Ooh, too bad, the pages only turn one way
Ooh, and it's too damn hard to look at yesterday
And I guess they stayed together
Just because they wrote forever
On the inside of the cover by their names
They were in love, you can read it
I guess I've just only seen it
In a red ink heart around my father's face
They've lived in the same house for almost 40 years now
But the last day they were on the same page
Was in a yearbook
Mm-mm
Was in a yearbook
