Carlene
I was lousy at math, failed historian
Carlene was the valedictorian
I was the quarter back in the back of classes
She was the whiz kid in horned rim glasses
Its been a long time since Ive been around
Since I stepped foot on my old stomping ground
I ended up by the old school yard
When this red head pulled up in a blue sports car
She said
'I bet u dont remember, I guess its been forever.'
It took a second to put it all together and I said.
Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
Girl you glitter like hollywood
Good god carlene
You sure are lookin good
She said hop in lets go for a spin
Tell me whatcha been doing boy and where you been
I said I write songs
you probably didnt know,
but I finally got a couple out on country radio
She said
'What a switch, aint life funny, Ive got a PHD,
now Im modeling for money.'
Imagine little miss 4.0
just smiling for the camera on the cover of Vogue
I said youve come a long way since graduation
Let me say without reservation
Youve surpassed everyones expectations
Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
Girl you glitter like hollywood
Good god carlene
You sure are lookin good
I said I hope to see you again someday
She said another ten years is too long to wait
Pick me up at my Mommas at eight!
And I said.
Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
