I’m looking thru my old yearbook - searching for some good memories
Anything that gets my mind off you - and ease the pain of you leaving me
I came across a picture of an old flame - Queen of the 4-H Club
She circled her face with cherry-red lipstick - signed it ‘best of luck’
Oh if I knew then what I know now
How happy my life might be
I’d stay with the Queen of the 4-H Club
And you’d never get the chance to walk out on me
Mama and daddy tried to tell me
Son you’ve got a hard row to hoe
The decisions you make in a moment of passion
Can have a high cost further down the road
Well I learn things the hard way
I’m stupid that way, I swear
I chose the girl who wore the homecoming crown
And not the blue ribbon down at the County Fair
