Gary Marshall Ellis – Goodbye to the Class of ’74 Lyrics

Artist: Gary Marshall Ellis
Song: Goodbye to the Class of ’74

They built that regional school on a hill overlooking black swamp
Where their 〈.?.〉 steals their water with a pump
They opened that school to the sounds of elvis, bobby, and 〈.?.〉
There i met a hottie i never hold or kiss or marry

She walked into my life in that long-lost woodstock year
She started songs in my heart that she would never hear
She was steady to a singer, and she left my heart to break
Blown like the boiler of that steamboat at the bottom of a lakе

I reflect on black swamp high school, lord i feel numb
I can’t let thеm see the loser i’ve become
Stack up all the years of hurting, i can’t take anymore
Well goodbye, to the class of ’74

Goodbye to the class of ’74
I thought i was ugly and stupid, and i just didn’t fit in
A loner whose mind goes back to the prison halls again and again
The 〈.?.〉 of popularity, i was afraid, she was too pretty, and too good for me

Oh, maybe i was completely wrong, years gone too late, i finally see
Nothing like childhood growing up
There’s no second chance
I’m forever haunted by the night

I know i missed the dance
I got a notice for a reunion
I’ll tear it up and no one will know
All the 〈.?.〉 my eyes

And all the reasons i can’t go
I reflect on black swamp high school, lord i feel numb
I can’t let them see the loser i’ve become
Stack up all the years of hurting, i can’t take anymore

So goodbye, to the class of ’74
Goodbye to the class of ’74
Some memories never go away
Though i’ve forgotten most of what i’ve learned

And that bridge on that black swamp river south of school
Is a bridge that i have burned
I remember that school as a place and time in my life
Where i just didn’t belong

As i lament over bitter certainty
Over a whole life that went wrong
This whole thing’s just a metaphor
For the darkness that i feel

I try hard to discern
Which memories are real
A lengthy fire of emotions break
As lyrical designs become strong

Still cry when i hear the words of susan jacks, and that holy diamond song
It’s like standing at the bus stop but the bus never came
Nobody’s children; alone, no umbrella in the rain
There were no proms, no dates, no kisses

And she never got my name
Explain how decades later, i can feel exactly the same
I feel the same!
As i reflect on black swamp high school, lord i feel numb

I can’t let them see the loser i’ve become
Stack up all the years of hurting, i can’t take anymore
So goodbye, to the class of ’74
Goodbye to the class of ’74
