10 years later after a pillow fight, well Jenny and her friends got to talking bout life 
What they're gonna do when they graduate, what kind of guy they're gonna marry one day 
And All of her friends said the usual stuff, you know, Doctors and lawyers and bankers and such 
but jenny didn't even to lie when she started talking about her dream guy 
 
Chorus 
 
Jenny married a guy named Mike and they had a little boy and they started life 
Mike ran off 4 yrs ago and now her little boy is five years old 
And Jenny looks out the window and smiles at the way life works when you give it a while 
Little man running round out back with a stick horse and a little red hat 
 
Chorus 
 
And he got her that cowboy
