Matthew West
Newnan High
[Verse 1]
Cat scratches heal and go away
But some scars seem to just wanna stay
I can still hear the whispers behind my back
"She's never gonna make it", "She thinks she's all that"

[Pre-Chorus]
I would cry, cry, cry
Wanna hide, hide, hide
And the boys got high on Friday nights
It's really no wonder some of them died

[Chorus]
Say goodbye to Newnan High
So much for the best years of my life
Look at where you are
And look at where am I, yeah
Wave goodbye to Newnan High
Can't you hear me screaming "I don't care"?
Can't you see my middle finger up in the air?

[Post-Chorus]
Cry, cry, cry, yeah

[Verse 2]
Tara was the girl who poured slop on me
Bet she's still waitin' tables, hiding her dirty feet
Remember when they booed me on homecoming?
I felt so naked, there was nowhere to run
[Pre-Chorus]
And I would cry, cry, cry
With nowhere to hide, hide, hide
And the boys just got drunk on Friday nights
It's really no wonder some of them died

[Chorus]
Say goodbye to Newnan High
So much for the best years of my life
Look at where you are
And look at where am I, yeah
Wave goodbye to Newnan High
Can't you hear me screaming "I don't care"?
Can't you see my middle finger up in the air?

[Bridge]
You know what you did
You know who you are
You can't touch me now
I'm not insecure
You tried to break me
You tried to take, yeah
Anything happy from me, yeah

Jennifer, Emily
Caroline, and Abigail
Renee, Mimi, Sara, Morgan
Lauren, and Carolyn
[Chorus]
So much for the best years of my life
Look at where you are
And look at where am I, yeah
Wave goodbye to Newnan High
Can't you hear me screaming "I don't care"?
Can't you see my middle finger up in the air?

[Post-Chorus]
Cry, cry, cry, yeah
