Sunday Shoes, Cap and Gown
The whole town gathered around
Waited 18 years now it's all comin down to this
I scanned the crowd and it fills my soul
My best friends all here in rows
No turning back, Now it's time to walk that line
This tassel is gonna turn
But when the moment passes by
We'll just walk away
Then slowly grow apart

But I'm not gonna cry, no
Not one sad or happy tear
I've waited my whole life
Now I'm gonna fly right outta here

It's a bittersweet goodbye, but I'm not gonna cry

Friday night, football games,
First loves and first heartbreaks,
It didn't matter who won or lost,
Only how we played,
Memories as good as gold,
Tearin' up those mountain roads,
Racin' out 53, to old georgetown,
Sure we made a little trouble,
But learned from every mistake,
So there's no regret,
We've done the best we could

So I'm not gonna cry, no
Not one sad or happy tear
I've waited my whole life
Now I'm gonna fly right outta here

These have been the best years of my life
So I'm not gonna cry

It's been a lonely, winding journey
And we've lost a few along the way
Still we've hung in there through the tribulations
Now it's time to celebrate
It's our graduation day

So I'm not gonna cry
Not one sad or happy tear
I've waited my whole life
So I'm gonna fly right outta here

This has been the best day of my life, so I'm not gonna cry

It's a bittersweet goodbye, I'm not gonna cry
