Chris Rice - 8th Grade lyrics

rate me

Take a little trip with me back to Junior High<br />

Set the time machine to 1975<br />

We'd just found out that momma's gonna have another kid<br />

Back in the 8th grade<br />

<br />

Remember the days when life was not so mysterious<br />

Follow me down the hall to the cafeteria<br />

Where the worst thing I could mess up<br />

Was dipping yesterday's corn dog in last week's ketchup<br />

Back in the 8th grade<br />

<br />

Why does the past always seem safer?<br />

Maybe because at least we know we made it<br />

And why do we worry about the future?<br />

When every day will come just the way the Lord ordained it<br />

You can believe it, yeah, just like the 8th grade<br />

<br />

Step out into the hall and feel the moment pass<br />

Slam the locker, there's the bell, we're runnin' to class<br />

'Cause Mr. Jackson told us,"Don't be late for geometry again"<br />

We're back in the 8th grade<br />

<br />

I drop my books, sit down and mess with my hair<br />

Suzie looks at me and smiles, I'm walkin' on air<br />

Then I hear my name, I missed the question, I mumble somethin'<br />

The class is laughing, oh I love the 8th grade<br />

<br />

Why does the past always seem safer?<br />

Maybe because at least we know we made it<br />

And why do we worry about the future?<br />

When every day will come just the way the Lord ordained it<br />

You can believe it, yeah, even the 8th grade<br />

<br />

Why does the past always seem safer?<br />

Maybe because at least we know we made it<br />

And why do we worry about the future?<br />

When every day will come just the way the Lord ordained it<br />

You can believe it, yeah, just like the 8th grade<br />

You can believe it, yeah, even the 8th grade<br /><br />
