We grew up together in small town Oklahoma
back when things were simple, ninety seventy something
I was a farmer's son, she was the preacher's only daughter
Her dad was against me but i liked her
on the outside looking in
Then came high school, team captain of the football team
He loved her then left her and broke her like a fragile glass
I sat beside her as she wept, I dried her tears
I couldn't tell her that I've always loved her
from the outside looking in
College came, miles away
She met this boy one winter day
She called me up, said she's inlove
She wanted me to meet him
Now here we are four years later, I'm standing at the altar
looking at the girl walking down the aisle
The love of my life who'll never be mine
She takes his hand and says i do...tears fall
I'm on the outside looking in
And I'll always be on the outside looking in
