Brandy Clark - Hoomecoming Queen lyrics

[Verse 1] Twenty-eight shouldn't look this old But the last ten years sure took their toll On the girl in the picture with the plastic crown That sequined dress wouldn't fit her now Like it did before the kids Yeah, she loves her husband 'cause she said she would Oh, it ain't so bad but it ain't so good She swore she wouldn't get stuck in this town Now she's cuttin' coupons two doors down From her mom and it goes on [Chorus] Yeah too bad life ain't a local parade In your uncle's Corvette on a Saturday With all the little girls waitin' on you to wave When you're seventeen You don't know that you won't always be Homecoming queen [Verse 2] A newspaper clipping and a sash in a box Are the only things that didn't get lost She married a guy on a real estate sign And it's hard to believe once upon a time She was royalty, the girl we all wanted to be Or the captain of the team, it ain't what it seems It's just a teenage dream [Chorus] Yeah too bad life ain't a local parade In your uncle's Corvette on a Saturday With all the little girls waitin' on you to wave When you're seventeen You don't know that you won't always be Homecoming queen
