Verse2:
The winter days they last forever
But the weekends went by so quick
Went ridinâ?? around this little country town
We were goinâ?? nuts girl, out in the sticks
One night, me with my big mouth
A couple guys had to put me in my place
When I see those guys these days
We just laugh and say, Do you remember when?
Repeat chorus
1/2 length intrumental chorus
Verse3:
Now, seventeen has turned thirty-five
Iâ??m surprised that weâ??re still livinâ??
If weâ??ve done any wrong
I hope that weâ??re forgiven
Got a few kids of my own
And some days I still donâ??t know what to do
I hope that theyâ??re not laughinâ?? too loud
When they hear me talkinâ?? like this to you
Repeat chorus
