Back seat 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, livin' on crazy dreams,
Rock and roll and faded blue jeans,
Standin' on the edge of everything,
Seventeen.
Legs hanging off a Bayou bridge,
Feedin' fish potato chips,
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.
CHORUS x 2
Yeah, seventeen.
Sweet seventeen.
