Lyrics
HIGH SCHOOL SWEATERS
Rory Lee Feek / Rob Meurer
NOWADAYS FOLKS DON'T TALK
THINGS GET TOUGH AND THEY WANNA WALK
STAYIN' MARRIED'S GONE OUT OF STYLE
BUT IF WE COULD FOR JUST A WHILE
chorus:
I WANNA GO BACK TO THE DAYS OF HIGH SCHOOL SWEATERS
ICE CREAM SODAS ANDS VARSITY LETTERS
BACK WHEN OUR MOMS AND DADDIES STAYED IN LOVE
BACK TO THE NIGHTS OF DRIVE-IN MOVIES
POMPADOURS AND '55 CHEVYS
LIFE THEN SURE SEEMED SIMPLE ENOUGH
NOW I KNOW WE CAN'T GO BACK IN TIME
BUT I CAN'T HELP THINKIN' IF THE CHOICE WAS MINE
WE'D WORK IT OUT AND STAY TOGETHER
LIKE IN THE DAYS OF HIGH SCHOOL SWEATERS
SO BUSY WITH OUR OWN CONCERNS
NOBODY LISTENS - NOBODY LEARNS
BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO LET IT END THAT WAY
LET'S BE DIFFERENT - WHAT DO YOU SAY
repeat chorus
I KNOW THAT THINGS WERE HARD THEN TOO
BUT AT LEAST THEY GAVE IT ALL THEY HAD
BEFORE THEY SAID "WE'RE THROUGH"
repeat chorus
