Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sirens wail and a flashin' light
Nothin' better to do on a Tuesday night
But give me hell
Where're you headed, what are you out for?
We 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 17 in your hometown
[Verse 2]
Runnin' from your folks, runnin' from the law
Runnin' from love, runnin' from your fears, runnin' from it all
You keep on runnin', boy, you'll run yourself in the ground
You're always 17 in your hometown
[Verse 3]
Her porch swing 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 old clown
You're always 17 in your hometown
[Verse 4]
Runnin' from your folks, runnin' from the law
Runnin' from love, runnin' from your fear, runnin' from it all
You keep on runnin', boy, you'll run yourself in the ground
You're always 17 in your hometown
[Verse 5]
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 keepin' 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 17 in your hometown
[Verse 6]
Runnin' from your folks, runnin' from the law
Runnin' from love, runnin' from your fear, runnin' from it all
You keep on runnin', boy, you'll run yourself in the ground
You're always 17
Yeah, you're always 17
You're always 17 in your hometown
