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 As she was the whiz kid in the horned rim glasses It's been a long time since I've been around Since I set foot on my old stomping ground I ended up by the old school yard When this red head pulls up in a blue sports car And says, "I bet you don't remember, I guess it's been forever" It took a second to put it all together, I said [Chorus] Ooh la-la-la-la-la Looking good Carlene Woah 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 looking good [Verse 2] She said, "Hop in, let's go for a spin Tell me what you been doing, boy, and where you've 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 PHD 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] Ooh la-la-la-la-la Looking good Carlene Woah 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 looking good [Bridge] 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" And I said [Chorus] Ooh la-la-la-la-la Looking good Carlene Woah my-my-my-my-my Time's been good to you If you know what I mean Ooh la-la-la-la-la Looking good Carlene Woah my-my-my-my-my Time's been good to you If you know what I mean Ooh la-la-la-la-la Looking good Carlene Woah my-my-my-my-my Time's been good to you If you know what I mean
