*Chord changes are really fast in this song, I tried to write them above the exact word in the lyric the chord changes at* Intro: <--(3 times) I was lousy at math, a failed historian Carlene was the valedictorian I was the quarterback in the back of class She was the whiz kid in horned rim glasses It's been a long time since I've been around Since I stepped foot on my old stomping ground I ended up by the old school yard And this red head pulls up in a blue sports car And says, "I bet you don't remember, I guess it's been forever." It took a second to put it all together and I said... Ooh la la la la la Looking good Carlene Woh my my my my my Times been good to you If you know what I mean Girl you glitter like Hollywood Good gosh Carlene You sure are lookin good She said, ?Hop in let's go for a spin Tell me whatcha been doing boy and where you been? I said, ?I write songs, you probably didn't know, but I Finally got a couple out on country radio? She said, "What a switch, ain't life funny, I've got a Ph.D now I'm modeling for money." Imagine little miss 4 point 0 just Smiling 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? CHORUS I said, ?I hope to see you again someday? She said, ?Another ten years is too long to wait Pick me up at my momma's at eight? I said... CHORUS
