Backseat of her daddy's car
I was tryin' not to go too far
Kept thinkin' 'bout the words
The preacher man said
Lightnin' 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 everythin'
Seventeen
Legs hangin' off the Bayou Bridge
Feedin' fish potato chips
And talkin' about 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 everythin'
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 everythin'
Seventeen
Yeah, seventeen
Sweet seventeen
Seventeen
Seventeen
