[Verse 1] Well your daddy’s steering down Your driveway in the rain And your mom’s hair is in a bun And it’s your graduation day And your flask is hidden in your sock You were always proud To show your moxie babe [Verse 2] Well the rain is clearing up And the baseball field is dry And the chairs are in their rows And some moms’ eyes they start to cry And is this my fleeting chance? And I wonder as I gasp at all the faces made [Chorus] Norma Jean show me what you drink For fifteen years I’ve wondered if you know what I think Every year another mansion goes up on the lake And my heart it always breaks And I keep filling up with just this one thing to say [Verse 3] And I’m starting to remember Every summer day That long night out at Charlie’s And that time when we tried cocaine Well my heart has murmured long enough It is time to show you that I’m tougher babe [Chorus] Norma Jean what’d you have to drink? For fifteen years we grew up just around from the ice rink Now I’m watching you from across the room Sleeping on your cap and gown Only to chase away the doubt And Norma in my dreams we are the champions of this town [Outro] Woo woo woo    Woo woo woo

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les souvenirs nostalgiques d'une remise de diplôme, marquée par les émotions et les transitions de la jeunesse. Le narrateur se souvient des moments passés, entre les rituels de célébration, les attentes et les espoirs, ainsi que des instants de camaraderie et de découvertes parfois difficiles. Les images de l’enfance et de l’adolescence se mêlent aux réflexions sur le passage du temps et sur une relation particulière, symbolisée par une figure nommée Norma Jean, qui représente à la fois une amie et un amour inachevé. Dans cet univers de souvenirs, il y a aussi une quête de force et d’affirmation personnelle, face aux doutes et à l’incertitude de l'avenir.
