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
