Band Camp Lyrics
Well, the first time I ever laid eyes on you
Was my first year at marching band camp
You never played the part as it was written
You would always vampYou was always cracking me up
Messing with the band director
Mocking the tuba parts
In your upper registerIf I knew then what I know nowYou shouldn't've even been talking to me
Just a lowly freshman
And you the undisputed queen of the senior class
Without questionYet at the band hangout Ruth's restaurant
We sat together in a corner booth
We got our burgers for free
Because you was kin to RuthIf I knew then what I know nowYou always had a little something
Hidden in your instrument case
We would be practically making out
On the bus home from the way gamesOnce you soaked a tampon in some serious vodka
Wore it to school
Second period science lab
You fell right off your stoolIf I knew then what I know nowI didn't go to your graduation
I just couldn't find the strength
And I had to throw my yearbook in the dumpster
Because it was haunting meThe very next time I ever laid eyes on you
It was practically Christmas
You already looked like a whole different person
Just like much older sisterIf I knew then what I know nowI still never, never, never would've
Seen that coming
