Taking a Trip Down Memory Lane

I'm taking a trip down memory lane

To the girl I used to be

Back in my high school days

When I was so young and free

If you remember me from back in the day

This is the girl you knew

Forty years have flown right by

And I probably don't remember you

Lots has happened to me since then

Some was good and some bad

I'm no longer that crazy wild teen

Who got in trouble from Mom and Dad 

I married once after school was done

I moved away, far from home

Left Mom and Dad and siblings behind

To Virginia I did roam

I raised three kids, the lights of my life

Of them I'm so very proud

Hang out with me for more than a few

And you'll hear me bragging about them loud

I've since divorced and married again

You'll soon meet my husband Kenny

When I married him 15 years ago

Two more children made five - more than plenty

  

Mom and Dad have left us now

It's been a difficult year

My mother-in-law followed them home

So sometimes it's hard to be filled with cheer

Our kids have grown and have kids of their own

Our three grandkids are the greatest gift of all

I'm now the family midget

Our kids have all grown so tall

Our three youngest kids made us so proud

As college grads they became

All graduating the same year

Working their way to fortune and fame

As we start the day and head down the road

We'll soon be back in town

No more science and math, just hanging with friends
