Janna Merlyn Feliciano - Feeling Better lyrics

I want to take you back to the high school gymnasium With the freshmen and soph*mores sitting on this side And the juniors and seniors sitting on that side And way down there At the end of the gymnasium is the football team And as I walk down on the red crepe paper My high-heeled shoes are digging into my feet And my push-up bra is digging into my ribs And this tall, good-looking guy I'm holding onto over here He's the basketball captain He whispers under his breath, "Oh, shoot!" But I keep smiling as I walk down there Holding onto the arm of this big, strong man See, I'm the football princess And that's what football princesses do is smile See, I was a freshman then And you were one of the lettermen The nights were warm in victory's name I know the others knew That heaven was to be with you And when the deadly was in, of course The two of us would win "Most likely to succeed" You were going to study law And I'd be what my teachers saw A glowing smile, a college queen The woman behind the man Who seemed to need to have the best in life Including me, a faithful wife They planned the wedding in advance Unafraid to take a chance that children would succeed Chorus: I'll be damned, we all pulled through To think of all the crazy things we wanted to do You would be a hero and I'd be a queen Think of all the living we'd have pa**ed up, pa**ed by Never would have seen it I'll be damned, we all pulled through To think of all the crazy things we wanted to do Well, it may sound silly, but I tell you it's real The older I get, a whole lot better I feel Your hair is long and braided now And I can hardly remember how It felt to have smooth, shiny legs Or what you looked like in your pegged pants I work at a mountain school My hammer and my mind as tools You were living on a farm A brand new baby in your arms They're tight, we did succeed The age is showing on my hands And you've become a wiser man Survival took us separate ways But through the years the memory stays Within my mind of how we looked When we first had our pictures took We thought the dream would never end But now we don't have to pretend That we will all succeed Repeat Chorus
