Seventeen

Backseat of her daddy’s car
I was trying not to go too far
Kept thinking about the words the preacherman said
Lightnin' 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
Goin any way the wind blew, baby
Seventeen, livin on crazy dreams
Rock and roll and faded blue jeans
And standing on the edge of everything
Seventeen
Legs hangin' off the Bayou Bridge
Feedin' fish potato chips
And talkin' about 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
Seventeen only comes once in a lifetime
Don’t it just fly by wild and free
Goin any way the wind blew, baby
Seventeen, livin on crazy dreams
Rock and roll and faded blue jeans
And standing on the edge of everything
Seventeen
Seventeen only comes once in a lifetime
Don’t it just fly by wild and free
Goin any way the wind blew, baby
Seventeen, livin on crazy dreams
Rock and roll and faded blue jeans
And standing on the edge of everything
Seventeen
