Seventeen

She kissed her boyfriend underneath the pine trees

Fooling around again and lost her car keys

She knows she should be home by now

But she'll be home when she pleases

Because you're just Flying when you're seventeen

You don't know nothing you know everything rules and boundaries

Parents and Preachin just gets in the way of living

What time we meeting in the parking lot

I really like him don't you think he's hot

I've never told him but I'll give it a shot

Oh I wish I could be more like me at seventeen

Now look at me so afraid I'll get hurt

I'm not the same girl I was in the first verse

Cool calm quick on my feet

And I didn't have to worry for nothing

What time we meeting in the parking lot

I really like him don't you think he's hot

He says he loves me and wants to tie the knot

Oh I wish I could be more like me at seventeen

You fall hard but you heal fast

And you keep moving and you don't look back

You don't worry about gravity

And thirty's a million miles away

What time we meeting in the parking lot

I really like him don't you think he's hot

My heart is telling me we've got a shot

Oh I wish I could be more like me

I think I'll borrow from my younger days

Back when I was so unafraid

I didn't second-guess the choices I made

I would give you my heart with the key

Only if I could be more like me at seventeen
