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
|
It was gonna last forever, we were gonna see the world
|
So I guess you're curious just what became of her, well
|
|
She's still there in Oklahoma
|
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 a red ribbon in her hair
|
The rest of us have scattered everywhere
|
But she's still there
|
|
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
|
Yes and Emma would be happy if she could only see us now
|
'Cause we're livin' out the lives that she only dreamed about
|
|
She's still there in Oklahoma
|
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 a red ribbon in her hair
|
The rest of us have scattered everywhere
|
But she's still there
|
|
Lord, I know I'll never see her
|
With silver in her hair
|
I know she's really gone
|
But in my heart I'd swear
|
|
She's still there in Oklahoma
|
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 a red ribbon in her hair
|
The rest of us have scattered everywhere
|
But she's still there
|
|
Emma's still there
|
