Verse 1:
I was lousy at math, a failed historian
Carlene was the valedictorian
I was quarterback in the back of the class
She was the whiz kid in the horned-rim 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 school yard
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

Chorus:
Oh 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 gosh carlene, you sure are lookin' good

Verse 2:
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
And i finally got a couple out on country radio"
She said,"what a switch,ain't life funny
I've got a ph.d now i'm modeling for money
Imagine little miss 4.0 just
Smiling for the camera on the cover of vogue"
I said,"you've come a long way since graduation
Let me say without reservation
You've surpassed everyone's expectations"

Chorus

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

Oh la la la la la lookin' good carlene
Oh my my my my my time's been good to you x3
If you know what i mean
