I saw your picture, in the paper, honeymoon in Jamaica

Seems like another world

You and me and our big dreams, fallin' in love

We were two kids in the backseat, feelin’ so young

I got the first kiss, she’ll get the last

She’s got the future, and I got the past

I got the class ring, she got the diamond and wedding band

I got the boy
C
She got the man
Dm
Yeah there’s an old you that I knew
C
Fake ids, to get into those spring break bars
Dm
Back woods on a fourwheel, hanging on tight
C
I can still feel, my racing heart
Em Dm
Now you’re cleaned up with a haircut, nice tie and shoes

If things were different and I had a choice, which would I choose

We each got something, the other will never have
