Seventeen

Seventeen

Back seat of her daddy’s car,
I was trying not to go too far
Kept thinkin’ bout the words the preacher-man said
Lightning flashed across the sky,
I saw love in a young girl’s eyes
And that’s a look you never forget

Seventeen, only comes once in a lifetime
Don’t it just fly by wild and free
Going anyway the wind blew, baby
Seventeen living on crazy dreams
Rock-n-Roll and faded blue jeans
And standing on the edge of everything
Seventeen

Legs hangin’ off a bayou bridge,
Feeding fish potato chips
And talkin’ bout the mysteries of the universe
Yeah the world was somewhere else,
We had the summer all to ourselves
And the stars went off like fireworks
