The Homecoming Queen

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They said she was the prettiest girl in school It was the graduating class of '72 And the university hired me to sing And there I met the homecoming queen [Verse 2] When I first saw her, something said inside "Boy, this girl is bound to be your wife" She was beautiful and pretty as could be And I swore I'd make her my homecoming queen [Chorus] 'Cause the homecoming queen is a friend and a lover and a lady She's the girl of my dreams and the mother of my two little babies The homеcoming queen took away all the loneliness and doubt Thе homecoming queen showed me what coming home is all about [Verse 3] Have you ever had those days when nothin' goes your way And you get down? You think about goin' out Gettin' drunk tearin' up the town [Verse 4] But my little girl meets me at the door And says daddy's home to play And the queen takes me in her arms And I forget about my rough and rowdy ways [Chorus] 'Cause the homecoming queen is a friend and a lover and a lady She's the girl of my dreams and the mother of my two little babies The homecoming queen took away all the loneliness and doubt The homecoming queen showed me what coming home is all about [Verse 5] Now I've had my flings and a man will do these things There's no doubt But when the party's over you can find me Back with mama at the house [Verse 6] And my head'll be a-poundin' And she'll be kind of down in the mouth God knows that I love her 'Cause the king ain't much without the queen around [Chorus] 'Cause the homecoming queen is a friend and a lover and a lady She's the girl of my dreams and the mother of my two little babies The homecoming queen took away all the loneliness and doubt The homecoming queen showed me what coming home is all about [Refrain] Yes, the homecoming queen showed me what coming home was all about
