I've got a friend who wears go-go boots to Sunday School
We used to sit and drink pink champagne on a tin roof
Ridin' it out in a Thunderbird
Singin' out loud, every single word of "Jack & Diane"
Tryin' to pretend there was no rules
Kissin' on boys and sneakin' in bars
Tryin' to get a glimpse of who we are
We weren't wild, but we weren't far
She said, "Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me"
And you call, tell ole James Dean to get in line
Thanks to Elvis and Kurt Cobain, the world will never be the same
You've got to make history one day at a time
She graduated in 1987
We were gonna make a break for it together
Headed out to Hollywood
Where the stars are bright and the weather's good
But she changed her mind
Went back to the 7-11
She went and married the football star
Had few kids and works real hard
It ain't wild but it ain't far
She said, "Thelma and Louise you got nothin' on me"
And you call, tell ole James Dean to get in line
Thanks to Elvis and Kurt Cobain, the world will never be the same
You've got to make history one day at a time

Hey, Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me
And you call, tell ole James Dean to get in line
Thanks to Jesus and John Wayne the world will never be the same
You've gotta make history one day at a time
Like John Lennon and Kennedy
I'm with them yeah, 'cause I believe
You gotta make history one day at a time
