Stupid&17

Spend all our money on gasoline
So we can get out of this town for a while

We missed the exit on the highway
But we don't care
Cuz we don't really have
A place
To be

And all the sudden it was night time tripping bout our star signs
Walking down the middle of the road
Cuz the cars don't drive by after 9
In the middle of summer time

And then we'll get blackout
Rolling down a grass hill
Screaming till we can't talk
And our parents would call us wondering
Asking where the hell that we've been
And we'd say

Mom and dad we're 17
Only 365 days at this beautiful age
So let us be stupid while we can be 17

Ah ah ah ah ah

And then we're crying over boys and girls
Knowing we
Won't even remember their names next week

And the world is playing mind games
We can't keep up with the changes

So we'll play dumb and hope that they just leave us alone

And all the sudden it was night time tripping bout our star signs
Walking down the middle of the road
Cuz the cars don't drive by after 9
In the middle of summer time

And then we get blackout
Rolling down a grass hill
Screaming till we can't talk
And our parents would call us wondering
Asking where the hell that we've been
And we'd say

Mom and dad we're 17
Only 365 days at this beautiful age
So let us be stupid while we can be 17

Ah ah ah ah ah
(Let us be 17)

Everybody tells us
(All of the late nights)
Our careless days they're jealous
(We don't even realize)
They say soak it up and then hold it close before they're all gone and the curtains closed

Mom and dad we're 17
Only 365 days at this beautiful age
So let us be stupid while we can be 17

Ah ah ah ah ah

Let us be 17
