17 Lyrics - Singles - Cross Canadian Ragweed

Sirens wail and a flashing light 

Nothin' better to do on a Tuesday night 

But give me hell 

Where you headed, what are you out for 

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 seventeen in your hometown 

Chorus: 

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 seventeen in your hometown 

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 seventeen in your hometown 

(Repeat Chorus) 

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 keeping 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 seventeen in your hometown 

(Repeat Chorus)
