I saw your picture in a paper Honeymoon in Jamaica, she's a lucky girl You look so grown up in your black tux From a ball cap in a pick up, seems like another world You and me and our big dreams, falling in love We were two kids in the backseat, all fearless and young I got the first kiss and she'll get the last She's got the future, I got the past I got the class ring, she got the diamond and wedding band I got the boy, she got the man Yeah there's an old you that I knew, Fake IDs to get into those spring break bars Back woods on a four wheel, hanging on tight I can still feel my racing heart And now you're cleaned up with a hair cut, nice tie and shoes If things were different and I had a choice, which would I choose? I got the first kiss and she'll get the last She's got the future and I got the past I got the class ring, she got the diamond and wedding band I got the boy and she got the man I got the first kiss and she’ll get the last We each got something, the other will never have I got the long hair, hot head She got the cool and steady hand I got the boy and she got the man I got the boy and she got the man
