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 seveteen
