[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 |
