Mother's expecting me for dinner

I love you
Now it won't go down

…there's my ole alma mata still covered with ivy vine
Where I was voted most likely to succeed class of '49
There's a little ice…
…and listened with admiration of my great mind
So I was voted most likely to succeed Class of '49
In that big house upon the hill lives the girl I left…
And thanks for this bottle of wine
The guy most likely to succeed thinks you're very kind
The guy most likely to succeed class of '49…

…and a harpoon.
In my high school yearbook I was voted
Least likely to succeed.
It's better than being voted
Most likely not to breed.
Regicide…
…
On concentrated quicksand,
You could just add water and watch me sink
To all of your demands.
If you loved me
You would…
…at least try to make me feel sorry.
If you loved me
Maybe, baby,
You would break my nose.
And if I didn't love you I'd apologize,
Instead…

Skip the foreplay and brought her back to where the Don lay
It's Brooklyn, get your chain…
…and early mornings
I got a little buzz, I can't afford to miss my callin' now
Be the first to arrive and last to leave
Dropped out…

Said I do this with the ease, I collect my fees and then I breeze

Rusted pipe cockroaches

Before the Paxil and the Prozac
She used to beg a nigga for the bozac
Now all I ever hear…

He was never voted "Most Likely to Succeed"
But still he married Tammy Bell, the prettiest girl in all of Knox County…
And his uncle got him on at Thompson's Tool and Die
And now he;s a foreman and he's home each night by five
Not Bad for a farmer's son…
…a deck on the house
And a fiew the family down to Florida to meet Mickey Mouse
Not Bad for a farmer's son
Pretty good for where he comes from
He's got…

…still believe we walk as one
Chaos and laughter raising the rafters
No room to breathe
It was duly noted we weren't voted
Most…
…likely to succeed
But we made our choice to find our voice
In harmony
And we walked as one
We may be wandering down different roads…
…in time
And reminisce
And chiming in is an old violin playing my heartstrings
And I began to sing
We may be wandering down different roads…

…[Verse 1]
My first lesson was under the bleachers
We beat the Tigers by a touchdown
She was voted most likely to succeed…
And they said I was blue collar bound
Her daddy said that we were over
And that was the last time I got to hold her
[Chorus]
How can…
…the same old sun go down
On Both Sides of Town?
[Verse 2]
Well they said I can't sing in church no more
Can't sing Amazing Grace…

The Levis that I'm wearin' have beeen good to me
They just won't admit they're growin' old
Though my shirt's made contact…
…with the gutter, now and then
At least it keeps my body from the cold
Thank God, folks back home in Harland County
Can't see what…
…success has done to me
Would you believe the kids in Harland High School
Voted me most likely to succeed
Now I'm walkin…

…stig
Who told you to put the lights on?
I'm ready for ya, I'm ready for ya
Who told you to put the lights on?
I'm ready…
…she really wanna give it to me
And that ass so nice and 'round
The whole club'll shut down if it touch the ground
And she know…
A's, her daddy's rich
She good in school but she love that dick
Voted most likely to succeed on Vala Victorian
And been explorin…

…aww-oop, one way
One aww-oop
Na na na na na na na na na, aww-oop
[Verse 2]
You might be most likely to succeed…
…the Lord
Cause you can't get voted in
I don't wanna be the one to say I told ya
So I'ma say it to you again
[Chorus 2]
One, one…
…one way
One, one, one way
Only one, one, one, one way
If you wanna get there let me hear you now
One
[Interlude]
There's only one…

…(Don Reid - Harold Reid)
It was in the high school yearbook dated May of fifty five
We were voted the couple most likely to…
…off to nursing school I kept my job in town
To show your folks that I was old enough to settle down
When you came home…
…really wanted to.
Thanks to her she made want to prove I could succeed
But thanks to her I'll never have the one thing that I need…
