Lyrics of Carlene

I was lousy at math, a failed historian
Carlene was the valedictorian
I was the quarterback in the back of the class
She was the whiz kid in the horned-rimmed glasses
It'd been a long time since i'd been around
Since i'd set foot on my old stomping ground
I ended up by the old schoolyard
And this redhead pulls up in a blue sports car and says
'i'll bet you don't remember, i guess it's been forever'
It took a second to put it all together, i said

Oo-la-la-la-la-la lookin' good carlene
Oh-my-my-my-my-my time's been good to you
If you know what i mean, girl you glitter like hollywood
Good god carlene, you sure are lookin' good

She said, 'hop in, let's go for a spin
Tell me what you been doing boy, and where you been'
I said, 'i write songs, you probably didn't know
I finally got a couple on country radio'

She said, 'what a switch, ain't it funny
I've got a phd., now i'm modeling for money
Imagine little miss four point o
Smiling for the camera on the cover of vogue'
I said, 'you've come long way since graduation
Let me say without reservation
You've surpassed everyone's expectations'

Oo-la-la-la-la-la lookin' good carlene
Oh-my-my-my-my-my time's been good to you
If you know what i mean, girl you glitter like hollywood
Good god carlene, you sure are lookin' good

I said, 'i hope to see you again someday'
She said, 'another ten years is too long to wait
Pick me up at my mama's at eight,' i said

Oo-la-la-la-la-la lookin' good carlene
Oh-my-my-my-my-my time's been good to you
If you know what i mean, girl you glitter like hollywood
Good god carlene, you sure are lookin' good
