Seventeen

[Verse 1] Backseat of her daddy's car I was trying not to go too far Kept thinking '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 [Chorus] Seventeen only comes once in a lifetime Don't it just fly by, wild and free? Going any way the wind blew, baby Seventeen, living on crazy dreams Rock and roll and faded blue jeans And standing on the edge of everything Seventeen [Verse 2] Legs hanging off the Bayou Bridge Feeding fish potato chips And talking '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 [Chorus] Seventeen only comes once in a lifetime Don't it just fly by, wild and free? Going any way the wind blew, baby Seventeen, living 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 Well, don't it just fly by, wild and free? Going any way the wind blew, baby Seventeen, living on crazy dreams Rock and roll and faded blue jeans And standing on the edge of everything Seventeen [Outro] Yeah, seventeen Sweet seventeen
