G  			    G 
Sirens wale and a flashing light 
				     C 
Nothing better to do on a Tuesday night 
		G  
But give me hell,  
G                                    G 
Where you headed, what are you out for 
					 C 
Don?t see much of you around here any more 
		     G 
I guess its just as well  
D			     C 
Once upon a time you had it all 
D		    C 
You let everybody down 
D		  C		    G 
You?re always seventeen in your hometown

Runnin from your folks, runnin from the law

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 
 
Chorus 
 
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
