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

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
