Heaven Seventeen

When I get drunk or I get high

I take that airplane in my mind

Sail it across the bourbon sky

And dive into blue water

I swim up towards the crystal clear

I break the surface, breathe the air

Just like that, I'm right back there

On a lake dock ladder

And nothing matters

I'm in Heaven Seventeen

A water town still full of dreams

We drank from a whiskey bottle

Head in the clouds, heart on the throttle

Sometimes, when life puts me through hell

I go back in time and find myself

And I'm alive as I can be

Back in Heaven Seventeen

Silver moon on golden skin

Stonewash cutoffs climbing in

Push off the dock, cut through the wind

Till we cut the motor

Anchor down and count the stars

Floating nowhere in the dark

Light a fire in my heart

First time I get to hold her

I'm in Heaven Seventeen

A water town still full of dreams

We drank from a whiskey bottle

Head in the clouds, heart on the throttle

Sometimes, when life puts me through hell

I go back in time and find myself

And I'm alive as I can be

Back in Heaven Seventeen

When the world gets heavy

Feels like I'm sinking like a stone

I fly back on a memory to see

The me I used to be back home

The here and now keeps spinning

But somehow, it slows down just enough

To remind me who I was

Back in Heaven Seventeen

A water town still full of dreams

We drank from a whiskey bottle

We were living like there was no tomorrow

Sometimes, when life puts me through hell

I go back in time and find myself

And I'm alive as I can be

Back in Heaven Seventeen
