He's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck And he's still wearing that red and black jersey Waiting for the band to start up He's still showing up 20 late Finding hearts and rules to break Why would he wanna change when Every memory still bells to him But this ain't high school Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool See you Friday Take a ride after the football game Cause it's five years later And you can't get off of the elevator That's growing up Cause you're growing up And the world gets cruel When you're still living in high school He's still calling that first love first time Pretty eyed blonde And she's still letting it ring Cause this ring isn't what she wants Cause she traded in Palm Queen for a big city dream And a slate that's clean But your heart just don't get it And that's why you can't forget it Cause you're living like you're 17 But this ain't high school Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool See you Friday Take a ride after the football game Cause it's five years later And you can't get off of the elevator That's growing up Cause you're growing up And the world gets cruel When you're still living in the hallways Where everybody stopped and stared and cared and knew your name Cause this is the real world They don't know you like that But you can't go back to high school Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool See her Friday And take a ride after the football game Cause it's five years later And you can't get off of the elevator That's growing up Cause you're growing up And the world gets cruel When you're still living in high school And you're still living in five years later Oh yeah Oh yeah And he's still calling that first love first time And he hates that he said goodbye She went on with the ride And he's still driving the same old back roads When he got so old When did his life grow Oh but he knows Oh he knows Yeah he knows That this ain't high school And he's still driving that 1970 And he found you And he's stuck In high school But this ain't high school
