17 Lyrics by Jamie Lin Wilson

The Years: a Musicfest Tribute to Cody Canada and the Music of Cross Canadian Ragweed

0

[Verse 1]
Sirens wailed 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]
Running from your folks, running from the law
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all
You keep on running, boy
You’ll run yourself in the ground
You're always seventeen in your hometown

[Verse 2]
Front porch 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 'ole clown
You're always seventeen in your hometown

[Chorus]
Running from your folks, running from the law
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all
You keep on running, boy
You’ll run yourself in the ground
You're always seventeen in your hometown

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Running from your folks, running from the law
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all
You keep on running, boy
You’ll run yourself in the ground
You're always seventeen
Yeah, you're always seventeen
You're always seventeen in your hometown

[Outro]
Dirt's Canada, everybody
And The Departed
I love you, Canadas, very much
