Wake up next to my highschool sweetheart
We’ve been together for 20 years never be apart
I was the quarterback of the football team
She was a cheerleader and the prom queen
Put on my class ring never start the day without it
Letterman jacket crisp no doubt about it
Drinking coffee checking all my old yearbooks
Good thing I never changed once changed my looks
Going to my job at the car dealership
Actually it’s my dad’s car dealership
Working so hard gonna make him proud
But still dreaming of the Friday night crowd
Hearing the fans yell and chant my name
Throwing so many touchdowns it was insane!
One day I’ll get a promotion from my dad
Then he will say I love you Chad

My life my rules still cool
I peaked in high school
My life my rules
My name is Chad
I peaked in high school
My life my rules still cool
I peaked in high school
My life my rules
My name is Chad
I peaked in high school

Gonna run some drills didn’t sell a car today
Practicing my perfect spiral studying my old plays
Gunning for the assistant manager position
But I know that my demons are my competition
Smell my jersey covered in grass stains and sweat
Did I have some beers in my garage? You Bet
Can’t fumble my relationship with my wife
I know she hears me crying in the garage every night
When will I earn my father’s respect
Never feeling good enough with this neglect
Not once has he been to the YMCA
Where I’m crushing all my rec league basketball games
Always doing my best, everything is going my way
I get recognized at the dealership some days
Polishing my trophies in my man cave every week
You could say my life’s a never-ending winning streak

My life my rules still cool
I peaked in high school
My life my rules
My name is Chad
I peaked in high school
My life my rules still cool
I peaked in high school
My life my rules
My name is Chad
I peaked in high school

Listen all I want to do is take my lovely wife
Out on a date to a T.G.I Fridays
And then go see the high school football game
So I can check out all the competition
Is it too much to ask to let me out early today dad
I'm really sweaty and I could use a shower
I was running drills in the breakroom
It won't happen again sir
