Class A School Reunion

Performed by Erato & The Cattle Drive

Verse 1
It was Friday night, the party was set,
Moved it to 8, but they weren’t ready yet.
The cool kids showed up ridin’ in on horses,
Lookin’ like a scene from the Young Gun movies.
The DJ played sad songs ‘til we cried,
Then the sheriff showed up, and took him for a ride.

Pre-Chorus
The prom queen’s wanted in four different states,
Valedictorian’s laughin’ as we crash the gates,
The nerds showed up rich, but they still got cuffed,
Now we’re all in the jailhouse, wasn’t school enough?

Chorus
At the Class A school reunion, we all went wild,
From the cool kids ridin’ in to the nerds gone wild.
We broke some windows just to get arrested too,
Now we’re locked up together, tellin’ stories true.
At the Class A school reunion, we wrote three country hits,
Turned our lives into legends, now we’re stuck with it.

Verse 2
Two grown men fightin’ over dodgeball days,
While the sheriff places bets, it’s just one of those nights.
The nerds made millions, but didn’t missed out on the fun,
So they joined us in jail, now their bad streak’s begun.
The cheer captain’s doin’ a jailhouse routine,
With pom-poms made of warrants—it’s a wild scene.

Pre-Chorus
The prom queen’s laughin’, pourin’ out the drinks,
While the former class president’s drownin’ in links.
He tried to bail us out, with his spreadsheets galore,
But now he’s locked up too, oh what a score!

Chorus
At the Class A school reunion, we all went wild,
From the cool kids ridin’ in to the nerds gone mild.
We broke some windows just to get arrested too,
Now we’re locked up together, tellin’ stories true.
At the Class A school reunion, we wrote two B-movies,
Turned our lives into legends, now we’re sitting here.

Bridge
Three country songs were born in that cell,
Two B-movies, and a whole lotta hell.
The sheriff said, “Y’all were the ones I knew,
Rural schools are wild, just like back in school.”

Chorus
At the Class A school reunion, we all went wild,
From the cool kids ridin’ in to the nerds gone mild.
We broke some windows just to get arrested too,
Now we’re locked up together, tellin’ stories true.
At the Class A school reunion, we made national news,
Turned our lives into legends, next we’re going on a cruise.

Outro
The band played Cash in the corner cell,
And we all raised a toast to raisin’ hell.
At the Class A school reunion, we made history,
But ended up in jail—which is where we were meant to be.

SPOKEN: You know at the big high schools, they can’t arrest everybody.

SPOKEN: But at a class A school, well they got everyone of us!
