Seventeen Songtext
Hard-headed listenin' to some rock 'n roll
Driving a hand-me-down like it's one I stole
You were sitting in the front just singing along
To some "Born in the USA"
Only dream I had was getting lucky in the backseat
But I'd settle for a kiss in her drive 10:53
'Cause I knew her Dad would kill me if I was a minute past 11
And that's one line I wasn't over-stepping at
Driving a hand-me-down like it's one I stole
You were sitting in the front just singing along
To some "Born in the USA"
Only dream I had was getting lucky in the backseat
But I'd settle for a kiss in her drive 10:53
'Cause I knew her Dad would kill me if I was a minute past 11
And that's one line I wasn't over-stepping at
Seventeen
Don't mind me
Life was sweet
At seventeen
I'll never forget the first pinch from a skoal can
I might've turned green but I felt like a real man
Learning how to smoke at a post-game bonfire
Out of tune songs getting played on an old Squier
Didn't know what the real world was
Yeah, freedom looked more like 21
All I ever wanted was to grow up fast
Didn't think that I'd be looking back at
Seventeen
Don't mind me
Life was sweet
At seventeen
Back when life was a high or a buzz or a girl
Who you got Friday night was the only worry in the world
For every bad decision there's a good memory
Gets you wishing that you'd always be
Seventeen
Don't mind me
Life was sweet
At seventeen
Seventeen
Didn't know what the real world was
Don't mind me
I didn't think too much
Life was sweet
I wanted to grow up fast
At seventeen
And now I'm looking back
At seventeen
Oh seventeen
Oh
Don't mind me
Life was sweet
At seventeen
I'll never forget the first pinch from a skoal can
I might've turned green but I felt like a real man
Learning how to smoke at a post-game bonfire
Out of tune songs getting played on an old Squier
Didn't know what the real world was
Yeah, freedom looked more like 21
All I ever wanted was to grow up fast
Didn't think that I'd be looking back at
Seventeen
Don't mind me
Life was sweet
At seventeen
Back when life was a high or a buzz or a girl
Who you got Friday night was the only worry in the world
For every bad decision there's a good memory
Gets you wishing that you'd always be
Seventeen
Don't mind me
Life was sweet
At seventeen
Seventeen
Didn't know what the real world was
Don't mind me
I didn't think too much
Life was sweet
I wanted to grow up fast
At seventeen
And now I'm looking back
At seventeen
Oh seventeen
Oh
