:help: I cannot remember the name of the song or who the artist was but it's probably from the 70s or 80s. My friends will be grateful for the info coz they're sick to death of me singing just these six words!

Lonestar-Class Reunion (That Used To Be Us)

Well I rolled into town

With the ragtop down

I was looking for that homecoming queen

That three-by-nine lit hotel sign read

Welcome back class of '83

There were football guys twice their size

Cheerleaders hiding the grey in their hair

The names were the same but the faces had changed

I didn't recongize anyone there

That used to be us, we used to be cool

With the music cranked up, hanging out after school

That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe

Tell me where in the world did we all go

That used to be us

Oh, that used to be us

I had a drink with some buds

Played a lot of catch up

Danced with my date from the prom

But as hard as I tried until I closed my eyes

Everybody I knew was gone

There was Mr. Finch, he taught English and French

He was dancing with a couple of canes

And that homecoming queen, yeah the girl of my dreams

She didn't even remember my name

That used to be us, we used to be cool

With the music cranked up, hanging out after school

That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe

Tell me where in the world did we all go

That used to be us

As I stand here and look around

I can't help but wonder

Who will we be ten years from now

That used to be us, we used to be cool

With the music cranked up, hanging out after school

That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe

Tell me where in the world did we all go

That used to be us

Oh that used to be us

That used to be us

That used to be us

Hi Wenjo. That's one of my favourite 70s songs. It's a South African band called Osmosis. The song was #2 in Australia in 1974. The title is shown "She (Didn't Remember My Name)". Goodness knows why they left "even" out of the title, because it's sang that way throughout. If you can't get it on a download, I have it on CD and may be able to help. :)
