The Homecoming Queen

(앨범: Strong Stuff - 1983)

They said she was the prettiest girl in school it was the graduating class of '72
And the university hired me to sing and there I met the homecoming queen
When I first saw her something said inside boy this girl is bound to be your wife
She was beautiful and pretty as could be and I swore I'd make her my homecoming queen

Cause the homecoming queen is a friend and a lover and a lady
She's the girl of my dreams and the mother of my two little babies
The homecoming queen took away all the loneliness and doubt
Yes the homecoming queen showed me what coming home is all about

Have you ever had those days when nothing goes your way and you get down
You think about going out getting drunk tearing up the town
But my little girl meets me at the door and says daddy's home to play
And the queen takes me in her arms and I forget about my rough and rowdy ways

Oh the homecoming queen is a friend and a lover and a lady...

Now I've had my flings and a man will do these things there's no doubt
But when the party's over you can find me back with mama at the house
And my head'll be a pounding and she'll be kind of down in the mouth
God knows that I love her cause the king ain't much without the queen around

Oh the homecoming queen is a friend and a lover and a lady...
Yes the homecoming queen showed me what coming home was all about
