Tommy's selling used cars, Nancy's fixing hair.
Harvey runs a grocery store and Margaret doesn't care.
Jerry drives a truck for Sears, Charlotte on the make.
And Paul sells life insurance and part time real estate.
Helen is a hostess. Frank works at the mill.
Janet teaches grade school and probably always will.
Bob works for the city. And Jack's in lab research.
And Peggy plays organ at the Presbyterian Church.
And the class of '57 had its dreams.
We all thought we'd change the world with our great works and deeds.
Or maybe we just thought the world would change to fit our needs.
The class of '57 had its dreams.
Betty runs a trailer park. Jan sells Tupperware.
Randy on an insane ward. Mary's on welfare.
Charlie took a job at Ford. Joe took Freddie's wife.
Charlotte took a millionaire. And Freddie took his life.
Johnny's big in cattle. Ray is deep in debt.
Where Mavis finally wound up is anybody's bet.
Linda married Sonny. Brenda married me.
And the class of all of us are just part of history.
And the class of '57 had its dreams.
But living life day to day is never like it seems.
Things get complicated, when you get past eighteen, but the class of '57 had its dreams.
Oh, the class of '57 had its dreams.
