Adkins Trace She S Still There lyrics

Darlin` here`s a photograph of my old high school class
No I ain`t been back in quite a while
See there that`s Emma Lou, the one I gave my heart to
But there`s a story you can`t see behind her smile
It was gonna last forever, we were gonna see the world
So I guess you`re curious just what became of her, well

She`s still there in Oklahoma
She`s still seventeen
She`s livin` with her Mama
Workin` at the Dairy Queen
And she`s still standin` on the front porch
With a red ribbon in her hair
The rest of us have scattered everywhere
But she`s still there

Everett went to Omaha, he majored in business law
Jill`s in Arkansas with husband number two
That`s her best friend Jolene, she joined up with the Marines
I hear Billy Green`s on a beach in Malibu
Yes and Emma would be happy if she could only see us now
`Cause we`re livin` out the lives that she only dreamed about

She`s still there in Oklahoma
She`s still seventeen
She`s livin` with her Mama
Workin` at the Dairy Queen
And she`s still standin` on the front porch
With a red ribbon in her hair
The rest of us have scattered everywhere
But she`s still there

Lord, I know I`ll never see her
With silver in her hair
I know she`s really gone
But in my heart I`d swear

She`s still there in Oklahoma
She`s still seventeen
She`s livin` with her Mama
Workin` at the Dairy Queen
And she`s still standin` on the front porch
With a red ribbon in her hair
The rest of us have scattered everywhere
But she`s still there

Emma`s still there
