G.E.D. Sweetheart

The first time I ever saw her on the steps of the alternative school
Pitching quarters with the black girls
Yeah, I knew she was nobody’s fool
Popping her gum as loud as a pistol
As she raked in all of her dough
I swear to God I knew it right then
And to this day, I still know…
She’s my GED sweetheart
She’s been with me from the start
And from this life till the next
She’ll wear my cross around her neck
We had our first date at a party, a kegger at a rich kids roost
We did it in his parents bedroom
Then we cased what we wanted to boost
We grabbed all the pills and liquor
And we slid out the sliding door
But we barely made it to the bushes
Till my baby was begging for more…
She’s my GED sweetheart
She’s been with me from the start
And from this life till the next
She’ll wear my cross around her neck
