Was it Tuesday night spaghetti dinners
Mama said grace while daddy did a whiskey shot
Up in your room learning Skinner and Hendrix
On a cheap guitar, window open smoking pot
Tomorrow you've got a chemistry test that you ain't gonna pass
A whole lot's changed but nothing's changed looking back....
Ain't life just like high school sometimes
Probably sittin' in the back of the cafeteria by yourself
Feeling like the fast girl, the math nerd, the fat kid
If you grew up in a small town in a big world like I did
If you grew up like I did
Was it dirt roads that you lived for on friday night
A Texaco rose walking up to her front door
Was it parking lots and freedom and busch light
Knowing that the way you felt was a way you never felt before
That summer before senior year you lost a damn good friend
And finally on Sunday morning you learned how to say amen
Ain't life just like high school sometimes
Probably sittin' in the back of the cafeteria by yourself
Feeling like the fast girl, the math nerd, the fat kid
If you grew up in a small town in a big world like I did
If you grew up like I did
Ain't life just like high school sometimes
Probably sittin' in the back of the cafeteria by yourself
Ain't we all the QB, the prom queen, rootin for the home team
Feelin' like the fast girl, the math nerd, the fat kid
If you grew up in a nowhere town in an anywhere world like I did
If you grew up like I did
