[Verse 1]
Darlin', here's a photograph, of my old high school class
No, I ain't been back, in quite a while
See there, that's Emma Lou, the one I gave my heart to
But there's a story you can't see, behind her smile
[Pre-Chorus]
It was gonna last forever, we were gonna see the world
So I guess you're curious, just what became of her
[Chorus]
Well, she's still there in Oklahoma
And she's still seventeen
She's livin' with her Mama
Workin' at the Dairy Queen
And she's still standin' on the front porch
With red ribbon in her hair
The rest of us have scattered everywhere
But she's still there
[Verse 2]
Everett went to Omaha, he majored in Business Law
Jill's in Arkansas with husband number two
That's her best friend Jolene, she joined up with the Marines
I hear Billy Green's on a beach in Malibu
Darlin', here's a photograph, of my old high school class
