It was the hottest summer, i was seventeen
You were a little older, ya the best i'd ever seen
We were young and foolish, only out for laughs
Didn't realise that time would fly so fast
Chorus:
Miss America, tell me where you are
Can't believe I've gone and lost you
Just a photograph - just a memory to me ya
We were so misunderstood, thought we had it good
But just too young to know it
And now - i remember the way we were
Miss America
I could hear your laughter - Like it was yesterday
You would put your hair up, I'd take it down, I liked it that way
We stayed up late and counted stars, from the back seat of my car
You said it's love I said okay, didn't know what else to say
Chorus:
Miss America, tell me where you are
Can't believe I've gone and lost you
Just a photograph, just a memory - To me, yeah
We were so misunderstood, thought we had it good
Were just too young to know it
Even now, I remember the way we were
Miss America
Oh we traced our name out in the stars
Yeah the whole world was ours
I'm ready, I'm ready for - The way we were way back before
We both grew up and you left town
But Miss USA where are you now?
Tell me - I've gone and lost you
Just a photograph, just a memory to me - Yeah
We were so misunderstood, thought we had it good
Just too young to know it
And now, I remember the way we were
I can't forget - The way we were
It was good, Miss America
