The Statler Brothers The Class of '57

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 insurance
And part-time real estate

Helen is a hostess
Frank works at the mill
Janet teaches grade school
And probably always will
Bob works for the city
And Jack's in lab research
And Peggy plays organ
At the Presbyterian Church

And the class of '57 had its 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 its dreams

Betty runs a trailer park
Jan sells Tupperware
Randy's on an insane ward
Mary's on welfare
Charlie took a job at Ford
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 Mavis finally wound up
Is anybody's guess
Linda married Sonny
Brenda married me
And the class of all of us
Are just part of history

And the class of '57 had its 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
