High School Friends

I pulled into my old spot

Right beside the football field

And it looks the same, it hasn't changed

Even though it's been ten years

And I'm sitting here, self-conscious about the tag still on my dress

And I hope that they can't tell that I've got whiskey on my breath

Yeah, I hate that I ain't everything they thought that I would be

"Most likely to succeed" is still hanging over me

I'll walk in, they'll ask me how I've been

I ain't seen them since God knows when

They've all got husbands, all got babies

And I can barely pay my rent

I'm living the dream as far as they know

But they're naive to how this goes

So I'll do what I do best and put on a damn good show

Just for tonight, I might lie, so I can be that girl again

'Cause I was really something to my high school friends

Yeah, they placed the bets that two years in I'd be a household name

So I'll send 'em off to college, while I chase that Nashville dream

And I'm chasin' it, but I'm waitressin'

And they don't get the game

So I'll make 'em proud and tell 'em how

I'm on the edge of fame

Yeah, I'll walk in, they'll ask me how I've been

I ain't seen them since God knows when

They've all got husbands, all got babies

And I can barely pay my rent

I'm living the dream as far as they know

But they're naive to how this goes

So I'll do what I do best, and put on a damn good show

Just for tonight, I might lie, so I can be that girl again

'Cause I was really something to my high school friends

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)

Yeah, I hate that I ain't everything they thought that I would be

But just give me ten more years

I bet I'll be somebody

And I'll walk in, they'll ask me how I've been

I ain't seen them since God knows when

They've all got husbands, all got babies

I can barely pay my rent

I'm living the dream as far as they know

But they're naive to how this goes

So I'll do what I do best and put on a damn good show

Just for tonight I might lie, so I can be that girl again

'Cause I was really something

Yeah, I was really something

To my high school friends
