We were twenty-two, downed the bottle of wine on a Letterman code
Sneaking down late every Sunday night with nowhere to go
And I thought I knew everything there was to know
But she showed me how wrong I could be our first night alone
And we were seventeen
We were digging down deep
And howling at the moon
Caught somewhere between a little too late
And way too soon
And we were seventeen
We were a four dollar pack and Marlboro Reds
And a hand-me-down Ford
Spent every last dime we had [?]
And everything we found just left us looking for more
And you said don’t worry son, no one knows what it is they’re looking for
When you’re seventeen
We were digging down deep
And howling at the moon
Caught somewhere between a little too late
And way too soon
We were on something more
You were an angel in a sundress
I was a devil in boots
And we were seventeen
Oh, we were seventeen
I got that letter in the mail on the first of March
Taking me halfway across the country, man, it nearly took my heart
Wondering if what we thought we had could make that far
Made me [?] I thought that life wasn’t supposed to be this hard
When you’re seventeen
Oh, you’re seventeen
Hey
Oh, you’re seventeen
