Sirens wale and a flashing light
                                     C
Nothing better to do on a Tuesday night
                G
But give me hell,
G                                    G
Where you headed, what are you out for
                                         C
Don?t see much of you around here any more
                     G
I guess its just as well
D                            C
Once upon a time you had it all

You?re always seventeen in your hometown

Runnin from love, runnin from you fears, runnin from it all

Verse 2
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 seventeen in your hometown

Chorus

Verse 3
Nobody?s gonna miss me
No tears will fall, no one?s gonna weep
When I hit the road
My boots are broken, my head 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 seventeen in your hometown
