I went down to the hardware store
Had a young boy help me load a 4x4
I ask him about his life
Why you workin’ all these dateless nights
And he said: Working hard just to earn a buck
Sweatin’ every summer but I'm savin’ up
There’s a truck I need to buy
And a girl that needs a ride
I just smile and said
I know what you mean
I drove away and thought
If that ain’t me at seventeen
Of chasin’ girls around with a fake ID
And never backed down with some old SOB
On Friday nights he'll get thrown out of Center Street
Because Saturdays he’s up in a tree
Tryin’ to drop a buck like his daddy
On Sundays his mama’s tryin’
Get ‘em praying on his knees
To break some hearts, break some laws
Get some scars everybody can see
If he’s like me at seventeen
Skippin’ class just to toss a line
Smokin’ grass for the first time
And catchin’ nothin’ but a good time
My own momma tried
Of chasin’ girls around with a fake ID
And never backed down with some old SOB
On Friday nights he'll get thrown out of Center Street
Because Saturdays he’s up in a tree
Tryin’ to drop a buck like his daddy
On Sundays his mama’s tryin’
Get ‘em praying on his knees
To break some hearts, break some laws
Get some scars everybody can see
If he’s like me at seventeen
Now I’ve got a home
A woman of my dreams
I ask her what she saw
In a wild eye boy like me
Of chasin’ girls around with a fake ID
And never backed down with some old SOB
On Friday nights he'll get thrown out of Center Street
Because Saturdays he’s up in a tree
Tryin’ to drop a buck like his daddy
On Sundays his mama’s tryin’
Get ‘em praying on his knees
To break some hearts, break some laws
Get some scars everybody can see
If he’s like me at seventeen
If I wasn’t me at seventeen
If I wasn’t me at seventeen
