Verse1:
G
Sirens wale and a flashing light
G C
Nothin' better to do on a Tuesday night
G
But give me hell
G
Where you headed, what are you out for
G C
Don't see much of you 'round here anymore
G
I guess it's 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
Chorus:
D C G
Runnin' from your folks, runnin' from the law
D C G D
Runnin' from love, runnin' from your fears, runnin' from it all
C D
You keep on runnin' boy
G Em
You'll run yourself in the ground
C D G
You're always seventeen in your hometown
Verse2:
G
Her porch swing still looks the same
G C
She probably won't even remember my name
G
Just like she didn't back then
G
Is she married, is she doin' fine
G
Does she know about all the nights
C
I laid awake cryin'
G
Just to know her hand
D C
The door opens and I run away
D C
Just like the same old clown
D C G
You're always seventeen in your hometown
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse3:
G
Nobody's gonna miss me
G C
No tears will fall, no one's gonna weep
G
When I hit that road
G
My boots are broken, my brain is sore
G C
From keeping up with their little world
G
I got a heavy load
D C
Gonna leave 'em all just like before
D C
I'm big city bound
D C G
You're always seventeen in your hometown
(Repeat Chorus)
