Quarter Back
Verse:
It was our senior year
Had a shot at state
First time since ‘98
Whole town turned out
That Friday night
To see the home team play
Pre-Chorus:
It hurt real bad
To lose like that
I told him he’d be alright
He said I’d never understand
What it’s like
Boy I sure wish that he’d been right
Chorus:
Cause now every time I hear our song
That heartbreak that I thought was gone
And all that went wrong comes rushing right back
Sweet Caroline on the radio
His hand in mine on the way back home
I thought forever would look just like that
But now I’m standing at this jukebox
And I just want my quarter back
Verse 2:
I guess that time
Don’t heal some things
It just kicks 'em down the road
Looks like he left me
With a memory
That ain’t good at letting go
Pre-Chorus 2:
Yeah it hurt real bad
Losing him like that
But I thought I’d be alright
But this music’s got me missing him tonight
Chorus:
Cause now every time I hear our song
That heartbreak that I thought was gone
And all that went wrong comes rushing right back
Sweet Caroline on the radio
His hand in mine on the way back home
I thought forever would look just like that
But now I’m standing at this jukebox
And I just want my quarter back
Bridge:
I never saw it coming
And neither did he that night
And I guess that F-150
Never saw that red stoplight
I never even got to say goodbye
Chorus:
And now every time I hear our song
That heartbreak that I thought was gone
And all that went wrong comes rushing right back
Sweet Caroline on the radio
His hand in mine on the way back home
I thought forever would look just like that
But now I’m standing at this jukebox
And I just want my quarter back
I’m standing at this jukebox
And I’ll never get my quarter back
