band camp
Well the first time I ever laid eyes on you Was my first year at marching band camp You never played the part as it was written You would always vamp  You was always cracking me up Messing with the band director Mocking the tuba parts In your upper register  If I knew then what I know now  You shouldn't've even been talking to me Just a lowly freshman And you the undisputed queen of the senior class Without question  Yet at the band hangout ruth's restaurant We sat together in a corner booth We got our burgers for free Because you was kin to ruth  If I knew then what I know now  You always had a little something Hidden in your instrument case We would be practically making out On the bus home from the way games  Once you soaked a tampon in some serious vodka Wore it to school Second period science lab You fell right off your stool  If I knew then what I know now  I didn't go to your graduation I just couldn't find the strength And I had to throw my yearbook in the dumpster Because it was haunting me  The very next time I ever laid eyes on you It was practically christmas You already looked like a whole different person Just like much older sister  If I knew then what I know now  I still never, never, never would've  Seen that coming
