Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Used to be the trouble maker

Hated homework, was a sweet heart breaker

But now I have my dream

I'm so rowdy for eighteen

[Verse 2]

Never read a single book

Hated homework and the dirty looks

But now I live my life

There's a lot I've seen at eighteen, oh, yeah

[Verse 3]

School days, school days

I'm older now and what will I find, about my

School days, school days

I'm starting to slip, I'm losin' my mind

[Verse 4]

Used to be the wild one

Hated class, only lived for fun

I'm mean and got my schemes

At the crazy age of eighteen

[Verse 5]

Never made the honor roll

Hated rules, what I was told

Now I am almost free

It's a dangerous scene when you're eighteen, oh, yeah

[Verse 6]

School days, school days

I'm older now and what will I find, about my

School days, school days

I'm starting to slip, I'm losin' my mind

[Verse 7]

School days, school days

I'm older now and what will I find, about my

School days, school days

I'm starting to slip, I'm losin' my mind

[Verse 8]

School days, school days

I'm older now and what will I find, about my

School days, school days

I'm starting to slip, I'm losin' my mind

[Verse 9]

School days, school days

I'm older now and what will I find, about my
