I'm Not Gonna' Cry

Sunday Shoes, Cap and Gown
The whole town gathered around
Waited 18 years now its all comin down to this.
I scanned the crowd and it fills my soul
My best friends all here in rows
No turning back, Now its time to walk that line
This tassel is gonna turn
But when the moment passes by
Well just walk away
Then slowly grow apart

But Im not gonna cry, no
Not one sad or happy tear
Ive waited my whole life
Now Im gonna fly right outta here

Its a bittersweet goodbye, but Im not gonna cry

Friday night, football games,
First loves and first heartbreaks,
It didnt matter who won or lost,
Only how we played,
Memories as good as gold,
Tearin' up those mountain roads,
racin' out 53, to old georgetown,
sure we made a little trouble,
but learned from every mistake,
so theres no regret,
we've done the best we could

so im not gonna cry, no
not one sad or happy tear
ive waited my whole life
now im gonna fly right outta here

these have been the best years of my life
so im not gonna cry

its been a lonely, winding journey
and we've lost a few along the way
still we've hung in there through the tribulations
now its time to celebrate
its our graduation day

so im not gonna cry
not one sad or happy tear
ive waited my whole life
so im gonna fly right outta here

this has been the best day of my life, so im not gonna cry

its a bittersweet goodbye, im not gonna cry
