Carlene Lyrics

Carlene lyrics

Verse 1:

I was lousy at math, a failed historian

Carlene was the Valedictorian

I was quarterback in the back of the class

She was the whiz kid in the horned-rim glasses

It'd been a long time since I'd been around

Since I'd set foot on my old stomping ground

I ended up by the old school yard

And this redhead pulls up in a blue sports car and says

"I'll bet you don't remember, I guess it's been forever"

It took a second to put it all together, I said



Chorus:

Oh la la la la la lookin' good Carlene

Oh my my my my my time's been good to you

If you know what I mean, girl you glitter like Hollywood

Good gosh Carlene, you sure are lookin' good



Verse 2:

She said "Hop in, let's go for a spin

Tell me what you been doing boy and where  you been"

I said "I write songs, you probably didn't know

and I finally got a couple out on Country radio"

She said,"What a switch,ain't life funny

I've got a Ph.D now I'm modeling for money

Imagine little miss 4.0 just

Smiling for the camera on the cover of Vogue"

I said,"You've come a long way since graduation

Let me say without reservation

You've surpassed everyone's expectations"



Chorus



I said, "I hope to see you again someday"

She said,"Another ten years is too long to wait

Pick me up at my Mama's at eight," I said



Oh la la la la la lookin' good Carlene

Oh my my my my my time's been good to you      x3

If you know what I mean
