Karaoké 17 Cross Canadian Ragweed

Sirens wail and a flashin' light

Nothin' better to do on a Tuesday night but give me hell

Where 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 seventeen in your hometown

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 run yourself in the ground

You're always seventeen in your hometown

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 lay awake cryin' just to know her hand

The door opens and I run away just like the same ol' clown

You're always seventeen in your hometown

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 run yourself in the ground

You're always seventeen in your hometown

Well nobody is 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 on just like before

A big city bound

You're always seventeen in your hometown

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 run yourself in the ground

You're always seventeen

Yeah you're always seventeen

You're always seventeen in your hometown
