Still Alive lyrics
Darlin here s a photograph of my old high school class
No I ain t been back in quite a while
See there that s Emma Lou, the one I gave my heart to
But there s a story you can t see behind her smile
It was gonna last forever, we were gonna see the world
So I guess you re curious just what became of her, well
She s still there in Oklahoma
She s still seventeen
She s livin with her Mama
Workin at the Dairy Queen
And she s still standin on the front porch
With a red ribbon in her hair
The rest of us have scattered everywhere
But she s still there
Everett went to Omaha, he majored in business law
Jill s in Arkansas with husband number two
That s her best friend Jolene, she joined up with the Marines
I hear Billy Green s on a beach in Malibu
Yes and Emma would be happy if she could only see us now
Cause we re livin out the lives that she only dreamed about
She s still there in Oklahoma
She s still seventeen
She s livin with her Mama
Workin at the Dairy Queen
And she s still standin on the front porch
With a red ribbon in her hair
The rest of us have scattered everywhere
But she s still there
Lord, I know I ll never see her
With silver in her hair
I know she s really gone
But in my heart I d swear
She s still there in Oklahoma
She s still seventeen
She s livin with her Mama
Workin at the Dairy Queen
And she s still standin on the front porch
With a red ribbon in her hair
The rest of us have scattered everywhere
But she s still there
Emma s still there
