[00:00.90] was only I seventeen living out a reckless dream,
[00:06.80] Riding those summer streets to the corner of High and 13
[00:12.55] Me and other city boys running too wild and too bored
[00:18.98] Looking for a grown man's toys out at that corner store
[00:24.81] Well they threw the money to me and somebody's I.D.
[00:32.62]
[00:35.87] I was in the parking lot scared as hell
[00:41.38]
[00:42.06] Sending sixteen dollars down a wishing well
[00:47.31]
[00:48.37] Two bottles of wine, those red and blue lights
[00:54.25] Took a trip down town for the very first time
[01:00.06] Watching my own life flash before my eyes
[01:07.87]
[01:10.12] Like I was seventeen
[01:14.75]
[01:17.87] She was from across the tracks with the private school laugh
[01:23.75] We were both falling too fast down a river that wouldn't last
[01:30.12] It was only one night and our first time
[01:37.93]
[01:40.68] I was in the parking lot scared as hell
[01:46.25]
[01:46.93] Sending sixteen dollars down a wishing well
[01:53.12] I held her tight between those yellow lines
[01:58.56]
[01:59.37] Sat there crying about a miscarried life
[02:04.68]
[02:05.31] Watching my own life flash before my eyes
[02:11.56]
[02:14.75] Like I was seventeen
[02:19.43] Oh it was a lifetime ago
[02:22.49] I pray for mercy walking on down that road
[02:28.18] I met the woman of my dreams, she said yes to me
[02:34.24] And she said, "Baby I'm late, never this late. I'm feeling a change.
[02:43.32] We should find out either way."
[02:46.63] And I'm grabbing my keys and I'm shutting the front door
[02:52.32]
[02:53.19] I can hardly breathe driving that familiar road
[02:58.76] And I'm parked between those yellow lines
[03:02.78] Looking down that aisle
[03:05.15]
[03:05.78] Don't know whether to laugh or whether to cry
[03:11.10]
[03:14.34] I'm in the parking lot scared as hell
[03:19.90]
[03:20.59] Sending sixteen dollars down a wishing well
[03:25.78]
[03:27.03] Two pink lines or maybe just one
[03:32.28]
[03:33.21] Could be my daughter or it could be my son
[03:38.78] Watching our own lives flash before my eyes
[03:46.34]
[03:49.97] Like I was seventeen
[03:53.28]
[03:57.97] Funny how the years switch around the tears that way
[04:04.72]
[04:06.59] Like I was seventeen
