I Got The Boy
Paroles:
[English]
I saw your picture in the 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
Fallin' 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 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
...
Yeah, there's the old you that I knew
Fake IDs to get into those spring break bars
Backwoods on a four-wheel hangin' on tight
I can still feel my racin' heart
And now you're cleaned up with a hair cut
Nice tie and shoes
If things were different 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 somethin', 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
...
