Lyrics
Only Seventeen
I heard 'em talkin' in the parking lot
The guy was acting like a thief who'd just been caught
His friend said brother have you got no sense?
And then I listened to, the other guy's defense
Who'd believe she was only seventeen
Lennon only danced, with this one in his dreams
Who'd believe she was only seventeen
You'd know what I mean, if you saw what I've seen
I took my place behind the check out stand
And there she was with a six pack in her hand
One look at her and I was mesmerized
When I checked her I.D. , man was I surprised!
Who'd believe she was only seventeen
Lennon only danced, with this one in his dreams
Who'd believe she was only seventeen
You'd know what I mean, if you saw what I've seen
I saw her standing there in tight blue jeans
She was the finest woman, I had ever seen
She seemed to smile and say "I need a ride"
But she ran right past me to my son's car and jumped inside
Who'd believe she was only seventeen
Lennon only danced, with this one in his dreams
Who'd believe she was only seventeen
You'd know what I mean, if you saw what I've seen
Who'd believe she was only seventeen
Lennon only danced, with this one in his dreams
No way could she be only seventeen
You'd know what I mean, if you saw what I've seen
