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.
