VERSE 1:
I was lousy at math, a failed historian
E C#m A BCarlene was the valedictorian
E C#m A BI was the quarterback in the back of class
She was the whiz kid in horned rim glasses
E C#m A BIt's been a long time since I've been around
E C#m A BSince I stepped foot on my old stomping ground
I ended up by the old school yard
E C#m A BAnd this red head pulls up in a blue sports car
F#m E A BAnd 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...
CHOURUS:
E B AOoh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
E B AWoh my my my my my
B E C#mTimes been good to you
If you know what I mean
F#m EGirl you glitter like Hollywood
F#m G#mGood gosh Carlene
You sure are lookin good
VERSE 2:
E C#m A BShe said, "Hop in let's go for a spin
Tell me whatcha been doing boy and where you been"
E C#m A BI said, "I write songs, you probably didn't know, but I
E C#m A B E A BFinally got a couple out on country radio"
She said, "What a switch, ain't life funny, I've got a
E C#m A BPh.D now I'm modeling for money."
E C#m A BImagine little miss 4 point 0 just
Smiling for the camera on the cover of Vogue
F#m E A BI said, "You've come a long way since graduation, let me say without
reservation
F#m G#m A BYou've surpassed everyone's expectations"
Pre-Chourus:
I said, "I hope to see you again someday"
A BShe said, "Another ten years is too long to wait
F#m G#m A BPick me up at my momma's at eight"
I said...
