Your momma and daddy can't take care of themselves

So I'm gonna look after you

Your daddy loves liquor and your momma needs help

'cause all of her nightmares came true

I got this car when my granddaddy passed

So meet me just after last bell

I've got twenty dollars it'll get us some gas

We won't get too far, we won't get there fast

But it's twenty dollars further from hell

Leave it to me 'cause i'm 17

Leave it to me, we'll get through

If' you'll be my queen then I'll play a king

And I'll always look after you

Just leave it to me

I am a king at 17

Leave it to me...

I am the king of 17

We head to the east to catch up to the sun

You smile as you watch it rise

We come from nothing, we leave nothing behind

My world is the hope in your eyes

Leave it to me 'cause i'm 17

Leave it to me, we'll get through

If' you'll be my queen and I'll play your king

I'll always take care of you

Just leave it to me

I am a king at 17

Leave it to me...

I am the king of 17.
