Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sirens wail and a flashin' light

Nothin' better to do on a Tuesday night

But give me hell

Where're 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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

Runnin' from your folks, runnin' from the law

Runnin' from love, runnin' from your fear, runnin' from it all

You keep on runnin', boy, you'll run yourself in the ground

You're always 17 in your hometown

[Verse 5]

Nobody's 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

[Verse 6]

Runnin' from your folks, runnin' from the law

Runnin' from love, runnin' from your fear, runnin' from it all

You keep on runnin', boy, you'll run yourself in the ground

You're always 17

Yeah, you're always 17

You're always 17 in your hometown
