[Verse]
Puttin' on her makeup thinkin' no one will know
But it's late September and she's startin' to show
Keepin' it a secret 'cause girls can be mean
Boys don't want the mom-to-be, they want the prom queen

[Chorus]
High school is wildfire
It's like walkin' the high wire

[Verse]
His life depends on throwin' a ball
If he's not like his daddy then he's nothin' at all
Boys don't cry, he's gotta be tough
So he pops a little pill when the pressure's too much

[Chorus]
High school is wildfire
It's like walkin' the high wire

[Bridge]
Whether you're the cheerleader or the class clown
Straight As or the jack arounds
A big city or a one horse town
Growin' up can bring you down

[Chorus]
High school is wildfire
It's like walkin' the high wire
Oh, high school is wildfire
It's like walkin' the high wire
High school
