Bobbie Ann Mason

It wasn't the books that I didn't read
 It wasn't the teachers that tried to teach me
 It wasn't that varsity baseball coach
 Kept on tellin' them locker room jokes
 It was Bobby Ann Mason, back in high school
 She was way too cute, she was way too cool
 How was I gonna get an education
 Sittin' right back of Bobby Ann Mason
 Well, Bobby knew her hist'ry, Bobby knew her French
 Bobby knew how to keep the boys in suspense
 She'd tease with a touch, she'd tease with a kiss
 I was three long years being teased by, pretty Miss
 Bobby Ann Mason, back in high school
 She was way too cute, she was way too cool
 How was I gonna get an education
 Sittin' right back of Bobby Ann Mason
 Well, Bobby graduated first in her class
 Me, I graduated closer to last
 Bobby went to college, she got a degree
 I got a guitar so I could sing about
 Me and Bobby Ann Mason, back in high school
 She was way too cute, she was way too cool
 How was I gonna get an education
 Sittin' right back of Bobby Ann Mason
 Well, the years have taught me, the basics of math
 Divorce divides and time subtracts
 Takes away your hair, takes away your jump shot
 But it ain't gonna take all the memories I got of
 Bobby Ann Mason, back in high school
 She was way too cute, she was way too cool
 How was I gonna get an education
 Sittin' right back of
 Bobby Ann Mason, back in high school
 She was way too cute, she was way too cool
 And I got most of my education
 Sittin' right back of Bobby Ann Mason
