Class Of '57

Tommy's selling used cars, Nancy's fixing hair

Harvey runs a grocery store and Margaret doesn't care

Jerry drives a truck for Sears and Charlotte's on the lake

And Paul sells life insurance and part-time real estate

Helen is a hostess, Frank works at the mill

Janet teaches grade school and probably always will

Bob works for the city and Jackson lab research

Peggy plays organ at the Presbyterian church

And the class of '57 had its dreams

We all thought we'd change the world with our great works and deeds

Or maybe we just thought the world would change to fit our needs

The class of '57 had its dreams

Betty runs a trailer park, Jan sells Tupperware

Randy's on an insane ward and Mary's on welfare

Charlie took a job at Ford, Joe took Freddy's wife

Charlotte took a millionaire and Freddy took his life

John is big in cattle, Ray is deep in debt

Where Mavis finally wound up is anybody's bet

Linda married Sonny, Brenda married me

And the class of all of us is just a part of history

And the class of '57 had its dreams

But living life day to day is never like it seems

Things get complicated when you get past eighteen

But the class of '57 had its dreams

Oh, the class of '57 had its dreams
