I've got a friend who wears go-go boots
to Sunday School

We used to sit and drink pink champagne
on a tin roof

Ridin' it out in a Thunderbird
Singin' out loud every single word
of Jack & Diane
Tryin' to pretend there was no rules

Kissin' on boys and sneakin' in bars
Tryin' to get a glimpse of who we are
We weren't wild, but we weren't far
She said Thelma and Louise,
you got nothin' on me
And you can tell ol' James Dean
to get in line
Thanks to Elvis and Kurt Cobain,
the world will never be the same
You gotta make history
one day at a time

She graduated in 1987

We were gonna make a break
for it together

Headed out to Hollywood
Where the stars are bright
and the weather's good
But she changed her mind
and went back to the 7-11

She went and married the football star
Had few kids and works real hard
It ain't wild but it ain't far

She said Thelma and Louise,
you got nothin' on me
And you can tell ol' James Dean
to get in line

Thanks to Elvis and Kurt Cobain,
the world will never be the same
You gotta make history one day at a time

Hey, Thelma and Louise,
you got nothin' on me

And you can tell ol' James Dean
to get in line

Thanks to Jesus and John Wayne the world
will never be the same
You've gotta make history one day at a time

Like John Lennon and Kennedy
I'm with them, yeah, 'cause I believe
You gotta make history one day at a time
