[Verse 1] 28, shouldnt look this old But the last ten years sure took their toll On the girl in the picture with the plastic crown That sequin dress wouldnt fit her now Like it did Before the kids Yeah, she loves her husband cause she said she would Oh, it aint so good but it aint so good She swore she wouldnt get stuck in this town Now shes cutting coupons two doors down From her mom And it goes on [Chorus] Yeah, too bad love aint a local parade In your uncles Corvette on a Saturday With all the little girls waiting on you to wave When youre 17 You dont know That you wont always be Homecoming queen [Verse 2] Newspaper clipping and a stash in a box Are the only things that didnt get lost She married a guy on the real estate sign And its hard to believe once upon a time She was royalty The girl we all wanted to be [Chorus] Yeah, too bad love aint a local parade In your uncles Corvette on a Saturday With all the little girls waiting on you to wave When youre 17 You dont know That you wont always be Homecoming queen [Bridge] Or the captain of the team And it aint what it seems Its just a teenage dream [Chorus] Yeah, too bad love aint a local parade In your uncles Corvette on a Saturday With all the little girls waiting on you to wave When youre 17 You dont know That you wont always be Homecoming queen
