CWell it feels so good to be comin' D7home Fafter all these Cyears
Well it feels so good to know that D7I  Fcan still G7cry real Ctears
Over there's my ole alma mata still C7covered with ivy Fvine
Where I was voted most likely Cto Amsucceed Fclass of G7'4-C9
There's a little ice cream parlor Fwhere many an afterCnoon
I sat and boasted of the Amday FI'd be a G7big tyCcoon
And my classmates sat and listened with adC7miration of my great Fmind
So I was voted most likely Cto Amsucceed FClass of G7'4-C9
In Fthat big house Cupon the hill G7lives the girl I left Cbehind
I Fhated to Cbut I knew D7she'd only slow down my G7climb
I Ccan't wait to see all their faces Fwhen they see that I'm Cback
And how surprised they're gonna Ambe when FI pull up in G7this CadiCllac
I wanna thank you again for the ride young man
And C7thanks for this bottle of Fwine
The guy most likely Cto Amsucceed Fthinks you're G7very Ckind
The Fguy most likely Cto Amsucceed Fclass of G7'4-C9
