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?
I can't forget the way we were...
Miss America
