Lyrics:

(Mark D. SandersTim Johnson) 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 -aca
