[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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 facе
[Post-Chorus]
They've lived in thе same house for almost 40 years now
But the last day they were on the same page
Was in a yearbook
Mm-mm
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Ooh, too bad, the pages only turn one way
Ooh, and it's too damn hard to look at yesterday
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Was in a yearbook
