Valedictorian

Football player in the second row
 Never knew that she was beautiful
 Momma's crying with her head down low
 Daddy with the video
 Drummers drum and the horns all blow
 Marching band's circling tight
 Everyone is moving in slow-mo
 She's at the speed of light
 And the valedictorian
 Sheds her clothes in the midday between spring and summer sun
 She says, "This is who I am.
 And I'll never see any of you ever again."
 Oh, the principal and counselors close in
 Trying to avert a scene
 She just keeps on sticking to her speech
 Feeling like a prom queen
 Somebody shuts off the microphone
 Pandemonium ensues
 She turns and runs across the football field
 In nothing but her socks and shoes
 And the valedictorian
 Sheds her clothes in the midday between spring and summer sun
 She says, "This is who I am.
 And I'll never see any of you ever again."
