 Intro

 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 can 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 out late and counted stars

 from the backseat of my car

 you said it's love, I said ok

 didn't know what else to say

Chorus

 we traced our names out in the stars

 ya the world was ours

 I'm ready, I am ready for

 the way we were, way back before

 we both grew up, and you left town

 miss USA, where are you now?

 tell me....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

 i can't forget the way we were

 it was good...miss america
