Dave Edmunds – High School Nights lyrics

You wake up in the morning and another night's gone.
You tumble out of bed and turn the radio on,
But you just can't think about the day to come
Cause you're thinking about them high school nights.

Making all the moves, gotta do it in style.
It merely makes the high school day worthwhile.
When the work piles high
And the day drags by
And you never see the end in sight.

I remember those high school nights.
We had it made them high school nights.
Those were the days – them high school nights –
You will remember all your life.

The day moves ahead about a light-year long.
You hurry through the halls singing your school song,
But you just can't follow what the hell's going on
Cause you're thinking 'bout them high school nights.

Staring out the window in a daydream world.
Looking at the parking lot, checking out the girls.
There's a lesson going on, but it ain't getting heard
Cause you're wondering what'll happen tonight.

I remember those high school nights.
I'm gonna miss those high school nights.
They were the best, those high school nights.
You will remember all your life.

High school nights, we had it made.
Them high school nights, those were the days.
Them high school nights could be the best days of your life.

The dean's in his office and the writing's on the wall.
Some of us will make it, someone's gonna fall,
But it really don't matter cause we're gonna have a ball
When we hit another high school night.

I still remeember those high school nights.
We had it made, them high school nights.
Those were the days – them high school nights –
You will remember all your life.
High school nights, I'm gonna miss.
Those high school nights, they were the best.
Those high school nights could be the best days of your life.
