[Verse 1]
Well your daddy's steering down
Your driveway in the rain
And your mom's hair's in a bun
And it's your graduation day
And your flask is hidden in your sock
And you were always proud to show your moxie, babe
[Verse 2]
Well the rain is clearing up
And the baseball field is dry
And the chairs are in their rows
And some moms' eyes they start their crying
And is this my fleeting chance?
And I wonder as I glance back through the faces, babe
[Chorus]
Norma Jean, show me what you drink
For fifteen years I've wondered if you know what I think
Every year another mansion goes up on the lake
And my heart it always breaks
And I keep filling up with just this one thing to say
[Verse 3]
And I'm starting to remember
Every summer day
That long night out at Charlie's
And that time you tried cocaine
Well my heart has murmured long enough
It is time to show you that I'm tougher, babe
[Chorus]
Norma Jean, what'd you have to drink?
For fifteen years we grew up just around from the ice rink
Now I'm watching you from across the room
Sleeping on your cap and gown
I need to chase away the doubt
And Norma, in my dreams we are the champions of this town
[Verse 4]
Well I finally said it all
You kissed me on the mouth
But I felt it creeping on
A first [?] familiar doubt
It happened suddenly
And I felt me pulling free
Of all your riches, babe
And I don't know how or why
This fiction suits me so
Maybe I lost track of what I needed
To stay here to know
Well Norma Jean, it's crazy
I'll always love you baby
But I gotta go
[Chorus]
Norma Jean, let's have one last drink
For fifteen years I've watched you from the kitchen sink
Now I'm watching you from across the room
Sleeping on your cap and gown
I need to chase away the doubt
But Norma Jean I'll write you from some [?] out of town
[Outro]
Woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo
