Strum
D-DU-UDU
 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.
 (Verse 2)
 We both made it to our graduation. You chose a college I chose a vocation
 driving eighteen wheels.
 I became a part of your past. You went and married some guy in your class, he
 was  big .
 Your picture was in all the papers. You made such a lovley bride
 They said you were going places, but me I just went for a ride, down by the
 old school.
 (Bridge)
 I got  married to a sweet young girl, and kept driving for the line.
 Your husband  made his mark on the world, then he left you behind.
In  the big house, with the swimming pool.
Now  you drive your kids, down to the old school.
 (Verse 3)
 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 afraid I do". You say
 "everybody does it". I don't care if they do.
I'm  from the old school.
I'm  from the old school.
Where  hearts stay true.
I'm  from the old school.
I  thought you were too.
