Lyrics
I can remember us cruising through town
In your daddy's car with the top pulled down looking so cool
We came from different sides of the track
But we still held hands out back of the old school
We spent all our time together
Laughing and having fun
We swore that we'd love forever
'Cause that was the way things were done
At the old school
We both made it to our graduation
You chose a college, I chose a vocation driving 18 wheels
I became a part of your past
You went and married some guy in your class, he was a big deal
Your picture was in all the papers
You made such a lovely bride
They said you were going places
But me, I just went for a ride
Down by the old school
Old school
I got married to a sweet young girl
And kept drivin' for the line
Your husband made his mark on the world
Then he left you behind
In the big house
With the swimmin' pool
Now you drive your kids
Down to the old school
Now here we are at the reunion of the class
You ask my wife if we could have one dance
For the old times
We slow danced across the old gym floor
You whispered it could be just like before
"Call me sometime"
You asked if I understand you
"Well, yes, I'm afraid, I do"
You say everybody does it
Well, I don't care if they do
I'm from the old school (old school)
I'm from the old school (old school)
Where hearts stay true (old school)
I'm from the old school
I thought you were too
