I can remember us cruising through town   In your daddy's car with the top pulled down   Looking so cool   We came from different sides of the track   But we still held hands out back of the old school      We spent all our time together   Laughing and having fun   We swore that we'd love forever   'Cause that was the way things were done   At the old school      We both made it to our graduation   You chose a college   I chose a vocation driving eighteen wheels   I became a part of your past   You went and married some guy in your class   He was a big deal      Your picture was in all the papers   You made such a lovely bride   They said you were going places   But me I just went for a ride   Down by the old school      I got married to a sweet young girl   And kept driving for the line   Your husband made his mark on the world   Then he left you behind      In the big house   With the swimming pool   Now you drive your kids   Down to the old school      Now here we are at the reunion of the class   You ask my wife if we could have one dance   For the old times   We slow danced across the old gym floor   You whispered it could be just like before   Call me sometime      You asked if I understand you   "Well, yes I'm afraid to do"   You say everybody does it   Well, I don't care if they do      I'm from the old school   I'm from the old school   Where hearts stay true   I'm from the old school   I thought you were too
