Seventeen

[Verse 1]

Hard-headed listenin' to some rock 'n roll

Drivin' a hand-me-down like it's one I stole

You were sittin' in the front just singin' along

To some "Born in the USA"

[Pre-Chorus]

Only dream I had was gettin' 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 11.00

And that's one line I wasn't over-steppin'

[Chorus]

At seventeen

Don't mind me

Life was sweet

At seventeen

[Verse 2]

I'll never forget the first pinch from a skoal can

I might've turned green but I fеlt like a real man

Learnin' how to smokе at a post-game bonfire

Out of tune songs gettin' played on an old Squier

[Pre-Chorus]

Didn't know what the real world was

Yeah, freedom looked more like twenty-one

All I ever wanted was to grow up fast

Didn't think that I'd be looking back

[Chorus]

At seventeen

Don't mind me

Life was sweet

At seventeen, yeah

[Bridge]

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 wishin' that you'd always be

[Chorus]

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 lookin' back)

At seventeen

Oh, seventeen

Oh
