Alright
Well, I rolled into town
with the ragtop down
I was looking for that
homecoming queen
That three by nine
lit hotel sign read
Welcome back
Class of '83
There were football guys
twice their size
Cheerleaders hiding the
grey in their hair
The names were the same
but the faces had changed
I didn't recognize
anyone there
That used to be us
We used to be cool
With the music cranked up
hanging out after school
That used to be Jill
That used to be Joe
Tell me where in the
world did we all go
That used to be us
Oh, that used to be us
Had a drink
with some buds
Played a lot of catch up
Danced with my
date from the prom
But as hard as I tried
until I closed my eyes
Everybody I knew
was gone
There was Mr. Finch
he taught
English and French
He was dancing with
a couple of canes
And that
homecoming queen
Yeah the girl of my dreams
She didn't even
remember my name
That used to be us
We used to be cool
With the music cranked up
hanging out after school
That used to be Jill
That used to be Joe
Tell me where in the
world did we all go
That used to be us
As I stand here
and look around
I can't help but wonder
who we'll be
ten years from now
That used to be us
we used to be cool
With the music cranked up
hanging out after school
That used to be Jill
That used to be Joe
Tell me where in the
world did we all go
That used to be us
Oh, that used to be us
That used to be us
That used to be us
