The Class of '57

(Don Reid - Harold Reid)



Tommy's selling used cars

Nancy's fixing hair

Harvey runs a grocery store

And Margaret doesn't care.



Jerry drives a truck for Sears

And Charlotte's on the make

And Paul sells life unsurance

And part time real estate.



Helen is a hostess

Frank works at the mill

Jenett teaches grade school

And prob'ly always will.



Bob works for the city

And Jack's in lab research

And Peggy plays organ

At the Presbiterian Church.



And the class of '57 has dreams

We all thought we'd change the world

With our great works and deeds

Or maybe we just thought the world

Would change to fit our needs.

The class of '57 had dreams.



Betty runs a trailer park

Jan sells Tupperware

Randy's on an insane war

And Mary's on welfare.



Charlie took a job with Ford

And Joe took Freddie's wife

Charlotte took a millionaire

And Freddie took his life.



John is big in cattle

Ray is deep in debt

Where Marvis family wound up

Is anybody's bet.



Linda married Sonny

And Brenda married me

And the class of all of us

Is just a part of history.



And the class of '57 has dreams

But living life day to day

Is never like it seems

Things get complicated when

You get past eighteen.

But the class of '57 had its dreams.



Oh, the class of '57 had dreams...
