Forever and Seventeen

There's a '69 Chevy with flames on the hood That I bought from my dad, it never ran real good There's a pretty young thing I'd like to take for a ride She said, I get off at 7, why don't you meet me outside And the light from the radio flickered and gleamed We were somewhere in the middle of forever and seventeen She said how come I've never really seen you around It's so hard to meet somebody new in this town I said honey, you never met a boy like me Why don't you climb in the back and you can see what I mean We were already gone when the light turned green We were somewhere in the middle of forever and seventeen The light from the neon was fading The midnight sun seemed to shine We were almost there but I knew that we were out of time There's a '69 Chevy with flames on the hood She said thanks for the ride, you know it ran real good There's a highway full of promises I can't keep And it's getting kinda late, I better get home to sleep She said, I hope that you don't think that I'm being mean I'm just somewhere in the middle of forever and seventeen
