The Class Of '57

Tommy's selling used cars
Nancy's fixing hair
Harvey runs a grocery store
And Margaret doesn't care

Jerry drives a truck for Sears
And Charlotte's on the make
And Paul sells life unsurance
And part time real estate

Helen is a hostess
Frank works at the mill
Jenett teaches grade school
And prob'ly always will

Bob works for the city
And Jack's in lab research
And Peggy plays organ
At the Presbiterian Church

And the class of '57 has dreams
We all thought we'd change the world
With our great works and deeds
Or maybe we just thought the world
Would change to fit our needs
The class of '57 had dreams

Betty runs a trailer park
Jan sells Tupperware
Randy's on an insane war
And Mary's on welfare

Charlie took a job with Ford
And Joe took Freddie's wife
Charlotte took a millionaire
And Freddie took his life

John is big in cattle
Ray is deep in debt
Where Marvis family wound up
Is anybody's bet

Linda married Sonny
And Brenda married me
And the class of all of us
Is just a part of history

And the class of '57 has dreams
But living life day to day
Is never like it seems
Things get complicated when
You get past eighteen
But the class of '57 had its dreams

Oh, the class of '57 had dreams...
