The Homecoming Queen

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 nothin' goes your way and you get down

You think about goin' out gettin' drunk tearin' 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 poundin' 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
