Verse 1:
I was lousy at math, a failed historian
Carlene was the Valedictorian
I was quarterback in the back of the class
She was the whiz kid in the horned-rim glasses
It'd been a long time since I'd been around
Since I'd set foot on my old stomping ground
I ended up by the old 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:
Oh la la la la la lookin' good Carlene
Oh my my my my my time's been good to you
If you know what I mean, girl you glitter like Hollywood
Good gosh Carlene, you sure are lookin' good
Verse 2:
She said "Hop in, let's go for a spin
Tell me what you been doing boy and where you been"
I said "I write songs, you probably didn't know
and 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 4.0 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 Mama's at eight," I said
Oh la la la la la lookin' good Carlene
Oh my my my my my time's been good to you x3
If you know what I mean
