[Lori McKenna - Stuck in High School lyrics]
I'll be the first to admit I'm
A little stuck in high school
I rose colored those memories with
Drug store sunglasses
I never liked warm beer or cigarettes
But, I liked watching the
Smoke clear the high school fence
I am a self-described black sheep
A self-denying sinner
Raised by a village of my peers in
The back seats of used cars
It took a long time for my
Feet to reach the floor
But when they finally did I
Was ready for the world
What you get in the cradle
You keep till the grave
Some good men may be born they said
The better ones are made
So you try on every shoe and
You stand in every shadow
Hope you find yourself somewhere between the
First pew and the back row
But, you're always carrying around that kid
Whose picture's in the hallway
Eighteen and graduating
Did you ever make those dreams come true
Or is a kid still waiting?
Is a kid still waiting?
God bless the linoleum table
In my daddy's kitchen
If he was scared, he'd never tell
But I sure as hell did listen
And it don't matter how many prayers
Ever came off my lips
I still learned how to curse just like he did
What you get in the cradle
You keep till the grave
Some good men may be born they said
The better ones are made
So you try on every shoe and
You stand in every shadow
Hope you find yourself somewhere between the
First pew and the back row
But, you're always carrying around that kid
Whose picture's in the hallway
Eighteen and graduating
Did you ever make those dreams come true
Or is a kid still waiting?
Is a kid still waiting?
Is a kid still waiting?
I'll be the first to admit
I'm a little stuck in high school
A little stuck in high school
I rose colored those memories with
Drug store sunglasses
I never liked warm beer or cigarettes
But, I liked watching the
Smoke clear the high school fence
I am a self-described black sheep
A self-denying sinner
Raised by a village of my peers in
The back seats of used cars
It took a long time for my
Feet to reach the floor
But when they finally did I
Was ready for the world
What you get in the cradle
You keep till the grave
Some good men may be born they said
The better ones are made
So you try on every shoe and
You stand in every shadow
Hope you find yourself somewhere between the
First pew and the back row
But, you're always carrying around that kid
Whose picture's in the hallway
Eighteen and graduating
Did you ever make those dreams come true
Or is a kid still waiting?
Is a kid still waiting?
God bless the linoleum table
In my daddy's kitchen
If he was scared, he'd never tell
But I sure as hell did listen
And it don't matter how many prayers
Ever came off my lips
I still learned how to curse just like he did
What you get in the cradle
You keep till the grave
Some good men may be born they said
The better ones are made
So you try on every shoe and
You stand in every shadow
Hope you find yourself somewhere between the
First pew and the back row
But, you're always carrying around that kid
Whose picture's in the hallway
Eighteen and graduating
Did you ever make those dreams come true
Or is a kid still waiting?
Is a kid still waiting?
Is a kid still waiting?
I'll be the first to admit
I'm a little stuck in high school
