Seventeen

I remember when we walked down to the river bank How we cast a line and then all the beer we drank You and me we were seventeen, waiting to live our lives We were so young and wild but playing a game with time And then we walked on down to that old barn Where I held that guitar under my arm And I sang the song you hummed with me Until we fell fast asleep, ye we were young and wild But we were seventeen, yeh we were seventeen And I remember the day that we graduated school We were off to college and out to play some rules Three weeks in my senior year, I dropped out of school You went and graduated but I felt like a fool And then we walked on out to that old barn Where I held that guitar under my arm And I sang the song you hummed with me Until we fell fast asleep, ye we were young and wild But we were seventeen, we were seventeen We were seventeen, we were seventeen... And like a memory that year went passing by I still remember all those sleepless nights How I would sing to you and you'd stare in my eyes That's another place and time When we were seventeen, we were seventeen We were seventeen, we were seventeen Oh, who oh oh we were seventeen Yeh we were seventeen We were seventeen
