"Seventeen" – Tim McGraw

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 
 

“17” – Mandy Moore

Some people tell me, that you’re not my kind
And I believe them, but I can’t get you off my mind
Some people tell me that I should stay away
Maybe I will…some other day

[Bridge] ‘Cause it feels right 
And it feels good
And I don’t always do what I should
And I know what makes me happy
And in my heart you are it exactly

[Chorus] I don’t wanna do right, I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior, for a little later
‘Cause I’m only 17
Think I made my mind up, I got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Livin’ in the moment
Keepin’ my heart open
While I’m only 17 (Only 17…)

I’ll learn my lessons, and I’ll make mistakes
And if I get burned (get burned), it’ll be my heart to break
It isn’t easy, hearing what they say
Sometimes you’ve got to take a leap of faith

[Bridge]
[Chorus]

Anyone, who’s ever been in love
Has got to know
What it means to have a dream
And no one can say anything
To change my mind, no not this time

[Chorus]

Baby, got time to grow up…
…to face responsibility…
…hopin’…open…
‘Cause I’m only 17…

 
"Strawberry Wine" by Deana Carter

He was working through college on my grandpa's farm 
I was thirsting for knowledge and he had a car 
I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child 
When one restless summer we found love growing wild 
On the banks of the river on a well beaten path 
Funny how those memories they last 

Like strawberry wine and seventeen 
The hot July moon saw everything 
My first taste of love oh bittersweet 
Green on the vine 
Like strawberry wine 

I still remember when thirty was old 
My biggest fear was September when he had to go 
A few cards and letters and one long distance call 
We drifted away like the leaves in the fall 
But year after year I come back to this place 
Just to remember the taste 

Of strawberry wine and seventeen 
The hot July moon saw everything 
My first taste of love oh bittersweet 
Green on the vine 
Like strawberry wine 

The fields have grown over now 
Years since they've seen a plow 
There's nothing time hasn't touched 
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence 
I've been missing so much 

Like strawberry wine and seventeen 
The hot July moon saw everything 
My first taste of love oh bittersweet 
Green on the vine 
Like strawberry wine
 

"I'm Not a Girl... Not Yet a Woman" by Britney Spears

I used to think 
I had the answers to everything. 
But now I know 
That life doesn't always 
Go my way. 

Feels like I'm caught in the middle 
That's when I realize 

(chorus) 
I'm not a girl... 
Not yet a woman... 
All I need is time 
A moment that is mine 
While I'm in between. 

I'm not a girl 
There is no need to protect me. 
It's time that I 
Learn to face up to this 
On my own. 

I've seen so much more than you know now 
So don't tell me to shut 
My eyes 

(chorus) 
I'm not a girl... 
Not yet a woman... 
All I need is time 
A moment that is mine 
While I'm in between. 

I'm not a girl 
But if you look at me closely 
You will see it in my eyes 
This girl would always find 
Her way... 

(chorus) 
I'm not a girl don't tell me what to believe 
I'm just trying to find the woman in me 
All I need is time 
A moment that is mine 
While I'm in between 

I'm not a girl... 
Not yet a woman... no no 
All I need is time 
A moment that is mine 
While I'm in between 

I'm not a girl... oooh 
Not yet a woman. 
 

"Crash" by Dave Matthews Band

You've got your ball, you've got your chain 
Tied to me tight, tie me up again 
Who's got their claws in you my friend? 
Into your heart I'll beat again 
Sweet like candy to my soul, sweet you rock 
And sweet you roll 
Lost for you I'm so lost for you 

You come crash into me 
And I come into you 
I come into you 
In a boy's dream 
In a boy's dream 

Touch your lips just so I know 
In your eyes, love, it glows so 
I'm bare-boned and crazy for you 

When you come crash into me, baby 
And I come into you 
In a boy's dream 
In a boy's dream 

If I've gone overboard 
Then I'm begging you 
To forgive me 
In my haste 
When I'm holding you so girl 
Close to me 

Oh and you come crash into me, baby 
And I come into you 
Hike up your skirt a little more 
And show the world to me 
Hike up your skirt a little more 
And show your world to me 
In a boy's dream, in a boy's dream 

Oh I watch you there 
Through the window 
And I stare at you 
You wear nothing but you 
Wear it so well 
Tied up and twisted 
The way I'd like to be 
For you, for me, come crash into me 

Crash into me 
Crash into me 

You know, I'm the king of the castle 
You're the dirty rascal, crash into me 
Please crash into me, baby 

Oh, no no no 
Yes, I see the waves 
Come and crash into me. 
See the waves come and crash into me. 
Crash into me
Mmmbop

You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You're going through all this pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
And they're gone so fast
So hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care
Can you tell me who will still care

Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du
Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, Ba du dop
Ba du bop, Ba du dop
Ba du

Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows
It's a secret no one knows

(Repeat Chorus)

In an mmm bop they're gone. In an mmm bop they're not there.
In an mmm bop they're gone. In an mmm bop they're not there.
Until you lose your hair. But you don't care.

(Repeat Chorus)

Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know.
Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me if it's going to be a daisy or a rose?

Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know.
