Jimmy was the star of the hometown team
He had the best right arm that you ever did see
Now he manages the local Dairy Queen
And he coaches on saturdays
Becky was miss popularity
She was the girl that the girls all wanted to be
She's on divorce number two, and baby number three
Her and Jimmy, they used to date
And now they flirt at the soccer game

But this ain't high school no more
It's real life for sure
Glory days and the small town drama
You can't even go back if you wanna
This ain't no PG-13
Quarterbacks and homecoming queens
But we'rе doin' alright on the outside of those swingin' doors
This ain't high school no morе
Ain't high school no more

The only thing in the world we worried about
Was not gettin' caught when you're makin' out
On the orange-brown, flower-patterned, Velour couch
In the basement at your mama's house
Now it's death and taxes and politics
And the Maytag dryer's been on the fritz
And the only chance you get to step out of it
Is once a month at the local bar
Where everybody knows who you are

No, this ain't high school no more
It's real life for sure
Glory days and the small town drama
Can't even go back if you wanna
This ain't no PG-13
Quarterbacks and homecoming queens
But we're doin' alright on the outside of those swingin' doors
This ain't high school no more

My oh my, how time flies
They were the best and the worst days of our lives
Those memories we all got
Rewinding's not an option
'Cause this ain't high school no more
It's real life for sure
Glory days and the small town drama
Can't even go back

Ain't no PG-13
Quarterbacks and homecoming queens
But we're doin' alright on the outside of those swingin' doors
This ain't high school
This ain't high school no more
Ain't high school no more
This ain't high school no more
Ain't high school no more
