Mark D. Sanders - She's Still There lyrics

[Verse 1] Darlin', here's a photograph, of my old high school cla** 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] It was gonna last forever, we were gonna see the world So I guess you're curious, just what became of her [Chorus] Well, she's still there in Oklahoma And 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 red ribbon in her hair The rest of us have scattered everywhere But she's still there [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] Yes and Emma would be happy if she could only see us now Because we're livin' out the lives that she only dreamed about [Chorus] 'Cause she's still there in Oklahoma And 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 red ribbon in her hair The rest of us have scattered everywhere But she's still there [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] That she's still there in Oklahoma And 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 red ribbon in her hair The rest of us have scattered everywhere But she's still there [Outro] Emma's still there
