Most likely to get married, class of 1980
It´s there in black and white up on a shelf
Damn, they look so happy
Wish mom had kept that jacket
And dad had kept the Firebird he had to sell

And I guess they stayed together
Just because they wrote forever
On the inside of the cover by their names
They were in love, you can read it
I guess I´ve just only seen it
In a red ink heart around my father´s face
They´ve lived in the same house for almost 40 years now
But the last day they were on the same page
Was in a yearbook
Mm-mm

They never saw it coming
From the bleachers at homecoming
That she´d work late and he´d hide cigarettes
They´re still high school sweethearts
Just without the good parts

That fifty-yard line grass was green
As theirs would ever get

And I guess they stayed together
Just because they wrote forever
On the inside of the cover by their names
They were in love, you can read it
I guess I´ve just only seen it
In a red ink heart around my father´s face
They´ve lived in the same house for almost 40 years now
But the last day they were on the same page
Was in a yearbook

Ooh, too bad, the pages only turn one way
Ooh, and it´s too damn hard to look at yesterday

And I guess they stayed together

Just because they wrote forever
On the inside of the cover by their names
They were in love, you can read it
I guess I´ve just only seen it
In a red ink heart around my father´s face
They´ve lived in the same house for almost 40 years now
But the last day they were on the same page
Was in a yearbook

Mm-mm
