In a letter sunset
Smiling like a teenage princess
She parked the car in the student parking lot.

Secretly serene
And looking forward to that final day.
She was seventeen a year since August

Graduating Senior High
Walked on clouds into the building
Opened up her locker... um? oh yeah... 9-7-2-1

Like a ball and chain-
She took the books and notebook drivel and threw caution to the wind-
She called her sweetheart up and screamed "Hey guy! One more day until we graduate!"

Go out tonight and have a ball!
We've paid our dues babe!
Yeah!
