Seventeen and Springsteen playin' on the ole Victrola
Crinoline and bobby pins, mama's waitin' with the camera
Doorbell rings, the limousine drives off with my innocence
Kissed the guy and kissed goodbye to my party dress
Always the bridesmaid runnin' lines in pantyhose
Holdin' trains and bouquets and dancin' in dusty rose
Tryin' not to cry while I toast to my best friend
Gettin' spray tan on the best man, makin' out in my party dress
Never felt so pretty twirlin' in that fabric
Makin' memories like it's some kind of magic
Some things I wanna hold onto, some things I'd like to forget
But you can bet I'll look my best in my party dress
Linin' up at the nightclub in somethin' a little too short
Makin' rounds around the room and spinnin' on the bathroom floor
If I had to guess, I got some numbers and a few regrets
But this mornin' I ain't mournin' what I did in my party dress
Never felt so pretty twirlin' in that fabric
Makin' memories like it's some kind of magic
Some things I wanna hold onto, some things I'd like to forget
But you can bet I'll look my best in my party dress
Yeah you can bet I'll look my best in my party dress
