One Day At A Time lyrics - Deana Carter

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 can tell ol' James Dean to get in line

Thanks to Elvis and Kurt Cobain, the world will never be the same

You gotta 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 and 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

[Repeat Chorus]

Hey, Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me

And you can tell ol' 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
