Most likely to get married, class of 1980

It's there in black and white up on a shelf

Damn, they look so happy

Wish mom had kept that jacket

And dad had kept the firebird he had to sell.

And I guess they stayed together just because they wrote forever

On the inside of the cover by their names

They were in love, you can read it

I guess I've just only seen it in a red ink heart around my father's face

They've lived in the same house for almost forty years now

But the last day they were on the same page

Was in a yearbook.

They never saw it coming, from the bleachers at homecoming

That she'd work late and he'd hide cigarettes

They're still high school sweethearts, just without the good parts

That 15-yard line grass was green as theirs would ever get.

And I guess they stayed together just because they wrote forever

On the inside of the cover by their names

They were in love, you can read it

I guess I've just only seen it in a red ink heart around my father's face

They've lived in the same house for almost forty years now

But the last day they were on the same page

Was in a yearbook.

Ooh, too bad the pages only turn one way

Ooh, and it's too damn hard to look at yesterday.

And I guess they stayed together just because they wrote forever

On the inside of the cover by their names

They were in love, you can read it

I guess I've just only seen it in a red ink heart around my father's face

They've lived in the same house for almost forty years now

But the last day they were on the same page

Was in a yearbook.

Ooh, ooh...

Was in a yearbook.
