Whatever happened to Molly and Mark?
Remember those rides in the car?
Cruising the streets every night after dark
We never did go very far
Just out for some bowling
or maybe a dance
sometimes sneaking a smoke if we dared
Backseats at drive-ins
the boys took a chance
on the girls with whom
they had been paired
But Molly and Mark, they were not like the rest
Those two were in it to stay
He gave her his ring and most of the boys guessed
that he got her to go all the way
Molly left school during her senior year
Mark graduated that spring
Mol stayed with an aunt who lived not far from hereand never stopped wearing Mark's ring
Whatever happened to Molly and Mark?
and all of the kids from that day?
The memory of all of us in that old car
driving farther and farther away.

Your words have made me wonder, I want to look at the picture and wonder "what did happen to them?!"
Cool post.
They became Ed McMahon's love slaves, in a twisted and unholy arrangement no one could have predicted back then.
It seemed like there was always one couple that were perfect from each other from the very beginning. The rest of us just milled around playing musical chairs.
I am in LOVE wit this post and your blog!
More cheese, please.
Have a creative day!
