Seventeen, you don′t think that much about life

You just live it

Like kerosene dancin' around a fireBut you′re in it

So you jump right in

Ain't afraid to fall

And you give it all

She got the best of me

She broke my heart

Now all that's left of me

Is beatin′ in this guitar

Every night, a different town

She follows me around

So you get what′s left of me

Yeah you get what's left of me

′Cause she got the best of me

I picked myself up off the floor

And found somethin' new worth livin′ for

In an old dusty hand-me-down six string

And a couple chords

I'm gettin′ over her

A little more with every song

So y'all sing along

She got the best of me

She broke my heart

Now all that's left of me

Is beatin′ in this guitar

Every night, a different town

She follows me around

So you get what′s left of me

Yeah you get what's left of me

′Cause she got the best of me

She got the best of me

She broke my heart

Now all that's left of me

Is beatin′ in this guitar

Every night, a different town

She follows me around

So you get what's left of me

Yeah you get what′s left of me

'Cause she got the best of me

'Cause she got the best of me

She got the best of me
