Cross Canadian Ragweed "17" |
Sirens wail and a flashin' light Nothin' better to do on a Tuesday night But give me hell "Where you headed, what are you out for?" We don't see much of you 'round here anymore I guess it's just as well Once upon a time you had it all You let everybody down You're always 17 in your hometown CHORUS Runnin' from your folks Runnin' from the law Runnin' from love Runnin' from your fears Runnin' from it all You keep on runnin' boy, You'll run yourself in the ground You're always 17 in your hometown Her porch swing still looks the same She probably won't even remember my name Just like she didn't back then Is she married? Is she doin' fine? Does she know about all the nights I laid awake cryin' just to know her hand? The door opens and I run away Just like the same old clown You're always 17 in your hometown CHORUS Nobody is gonna miss me No tears will fall, No one's gonna weep When I hit that road My boots are broken, my brain is sore From keepin' up with their little world I got a heavy load Gonna leave 'em all just like before I'm big city bound You're always 17 in your hometown CHORUS You're always 17 Yeah you're always 17 You're always 17 in your hometown Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
