17

In and out of trouble, in and out of love
She had that dirty blonde hair, my vanilla cream-puff
She looked just like a million, maybe even two
I remember everything, how about you?
Ice cream kisses, summer in the park
Momma gettin' mad when we would sneak out in the dark
I'd take you to the movies just so I could hold your hand
You were a pretty lady, and I was your man
But I remember that one night like it was yesterday
We were standing in the moonlight, there was nothing in the way
You looked into my eyes, and said, "Show me love
Right here, right now, under the stars above"

We were 17, under the chestnut tree
I heard the thunder rolling as you sat down on me
And I was so in love, in love with you
I would have done anything for you

You had beautiful features, and the beat up adidas
We'd been kissing at the game, hiding out under the bleachers
And the crowds don't hear it, you were going "ooh"
Until Mr. Van showed up out the blue
Hot damn, we must have been running all night
When we got to your momma's house, you looked me in the eyes
And gave me a kiss, right before you said
That you're moving so far away
And I know it's over, yeah
You got tears rolling down your cheeks
You looking at me with those hazel eyes
That night under the chestnut tree

We were 17, under the chestnut tree
I heard the thunder rolling as you sat down on me
And I was so in love, in love with you
I would have done anything for you

We were 17, under the chestnut tree
I heard the thunder rolling as you sat down on me
And I was so in love, lo-lo-lo-love with you
I would have done anything for you
