17 In Abilene

It'd take about 900 miles round trip

To walk on the Gulf of Mexico

We'd jump in my daddy's beat up truck

Drive all night and don't look back

Momma she'd go crazy

Just wonderin' where we're at

Chorus:

Seventeen in Abilene

You and me

Biggest sky you've ever seen

There're so many miles of open road

And so many places still left to go

Seventeen, runnin' from Abilene

It doesn't take much for us

To drive away

Cause all we need's

Just a little bit of faith

I got fifty bucks in my pocket

It'll get us there

But maybe not back

The sun is shining

From head to toe

And I don't think

I'll ever let you go

(Chorus)

I see the stars in your eyes

Let's start the rest

Of our lives tonight

(Chorus)
