Hollywood Prom Queen

Saw you in an old movie, amazing how far you’d traveled
Since the prom that night when you said you’d marry me.
Funny how life takes such unexpected twists and turns
From simple to seemingly more complex and glamorous.
Too bad that movie agent at that restaurant that sad night
Sold you on seeking Hollywood instead of marrying me.
I never told you this, but I could have abandoned you too
When a beautiful, wealthy woman asked me to be with her
Instead of my future wife, prom queen you, but I stayed true.
