^FI was only seventeen living out a re^Gckless dream, Riding those sum^Fmer streets to the corner of Hig^Fh and 13 ^FMe and other city boys running t^Goo wild and too bored Looking for a gr^Fown man's toys out at that corne^Fr store ^FWell they threw the money to me ^Fand somebody's I^F.D. ^{F G F}I was in the parking lot s^Fcared as hell Sending ^Amsixteen dollars down a wishi^Fng well ^FTwo bottles of wine, those ^Fred and blue lights Took a t^Amrip down town for the very fi^Frst time ^FWatching my own life fl^Fash before ^Fmy eyes ^{F G} Like I was seve^Fnteen ^F

She was from acr^Foss the tracks with the privat^Ge school laugh We were both fal^Fling too fast down a river that wouldn^F't last It was onl^Fy one ^Fnight and our ^Ffirst time^{F G F}I was in the parking lot^F scared as hell Sending ^Amsixteen dollars down a wishi^Fng well ^FI held her tight between^F those yellow lines Sat ther^Ame crying about a miscarried ^Flife ^FWatching my own life fl^Fash befor^Fe my eyes ^{F G} Like I was seve^Fnteen

And I'm ^Fgrabbing my keys^F and I'm shuttin^Fg the front door^{F F}I can hardly bre^Fathe driving tha^Gt familiar road And I'm ^Fparked between those yel^Flow lines ^FLooking down that ais^Fle ^FDon't know whether to la^Fugh or whether t^Go cry ^FI'm in the parking lot s^Fcared as hell Sending ^Amsixteen dollars down a w^Fishing well ^FTwo pink lines or maybe ^Fjust one Could be^Am my daughter or it could^F be my son ^FWatching our own live^Fs flas^Fh before my eyes ^{F G} Like I was seven^Fteen ^{F F}Funny how the years sw^Fitch aro^Fund the tears th^Fat way Like I was seven^Fteen ^F
