[00:17.18]She bought a ticket on a midnight train
[00:20.99]To a place she'd never leave again
[00:24.83]She blamed it all on her daddy's sins
[00:28.68]I blamed it all on me
[00:31.12]
[00:32.71]And I was just a foolish boy
[00:36.35]It was love enough to fill the void
[00:40.11]Said the words to hear the noise
[00:44.05]It was deafening
[00:46.67]
[00:49.67]I never knew that things would change
[00:53.24]What we were then, what we became
[00:56.90]Oh, we were seventeen
[01:02.50]
[01:03.38]They found her there late that night
[01:07.03]On a bed under hotel lights
[01:10.87]Trying to make a couple wrong things right
[01:14.73]Start over clean
[01:17.70]
[01:18.74]She never did say goodbye
[01:22.78]I never did apologize
[01:26.28]I knew the words, but I could not lie
[01:30.32]I just watched her leave
[01:32.98]Watched her leave
[01:34.68]
[01:35.70]I never knew that things would change
[01:39.46]What we were then, what we became
[01:43.14]Oh, we were seventeen
[01:48.37]
[01:51.01]We wasted time, we wasted tears
[01:54.65]We waved goodbye to golden years
[01:58.44]Oh, we were seventeen
[02:03.65]
[02:06.71]Beneath the wreckage there's a reason, a reason
[02:14.44]Something they looked so hard to see
[02:21.99]I took and placed the blame
[02:25.82]But still I feel the same
[02:29.60]Someone just say it wasn't me
[02:35.04]
[02:39.68]I don't think about her like I should
[02:42.98]I used to try but it did no good
[02:46.85]She'd forgive me if she only could
[02:50.77]We were seventeen
[02:57.08]
[02:58.53]
