Seventeen

Back seat of her daddy's car 
I was tryin' not to go too far 
Kept thinkin' '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 

Seventeen 
Only comes once in a lifetime 
Don't it just fly by wild and free 
Goin' anyway the wind blew baby 
Seventeen 
Livin' on crazy dreams 
Rock and roll and faded blue jeans 
And standin' on the edge of everything 
Seventeen 

Legs hangin' off the bayou bridge 
Feedin' fish potato chips 
And 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 

Seventeen 
Only comes once in a lifetime 
Don't it just fly by wild and free 
Goin' anyway the wind blew baby 
Seventeen 
Livin' on crazy dreams 
Rock and roll and faded blue jeans 
And standin' on the edge of everything 
Seventeen 

Seventeen 
Only comes once in a lifetime 
Well don't it just fly by wild and free 
Goin' anyway the wind blew baby 
Seventeen 
Livin' on crazy dreams 
Rock and roll and faded blue jeans 
And standin' on the edge of everything 
Seventeen 
Yeah seventeen 
Sweet seventeen
