Carlene

(phil vassar/charlie black/rory michael bourke)



I was lousy at math, failed historian

Carlene was the valedictorian

I was the quarter back in the back of classes

She was the whiz kid in horned rim glasses



It's been a long time since i've been around

Since i stepped foot on my old stomping ground

I ended up by the old school yard

When this red head pulled up in a blue sports car

She said, "i bet you don't remember, i guess it's been forever."

It took a second to put it all together and i said.



Ooh la la la la la

Looking good carlene

Woh my my my my my

Times been good to you

If you know what i mean

Girl you glitter like hollywood

Good god carlene

You sure are lookin good



She said hop in let's go for a spin

Tell me whatcha been doing boy and where you been

I said i write songs, you probably didn't know, but 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 with out reservation

You've surpassed everyone's expectations



Ooh la la la la la

Looking good carlene

Woh my my my my my

Times been good to you

If you know what i mean

Girl you glitter like hollywood

Good god carlene

You sure are lookin good



I said i hope to see you again someday

She said another ten years is too long to wait

Pick me up at my momma's at eight!



And i said.



Ooh la la la la la

Looking good carlene

Woh my my my my my

Times been good to you

If you know what i mean

Ooh la la la la la

Looking good carlene

Woh my my my my my

Times been good to you

If you know what i mean

Ooh la la la la la

Looking good carlene

Woh my my my my my

Times been good to you

If you know what i mean
