Seventeen Summers Strong

[Verse 1]
You were leaning on that rusted Ford
Class ring spinning on your thumb
I was laughing in your old sweatshirt
Sneaking kisses just for fun
We were talking about leaving town
Like the map was in our hands
Never knowing every twist and turn
We’d walk together where we stand
[Chorus]
Seventeen summers strong
You’re still my Friday night
Still the hand I reach for
In the dark and in the light
From locker notes to mortgage notes
You’ve been my heart all along
We’ve changed so much, but baby
We’re still seventeen summers strong (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
We’ve burned dinner, we’ve missed deadlines
Held each other through bad news
Paid the bills with pocket change
Turned “we’ll make it” into truth
You still dance in the kitchen
In those worn-out, faded jeans
I still blush when you say my name
Like I’m back at seventeen
[Chorus]
Seventeen summers strong
You’re still my Friday night
Still the hand I reach for
In the dark and in the light
From hallway talks to midnight walks
You’ve been my heart all along
We’ve grown up side by side
But we’re still seventeen summers strong
[Bridge]
We’ve got miles of memories
Photos fading on the wall
But it’s coffee talks at sunrise
Where I feel it most of all
Every wrinkle, every laugh line
Is a promise that came true
I’ve only loved one man this long
And I’ll spend my whole life loving you
[Chorus]
Seventeen summers strong
You’re still my Friday night
Still the hand I reach for
In the dark and in the light
From first slow dance to last big chance
You’ve been my heart all along
If time keeps rolling on
We’ll stay seventeen summers strong
[Outro]
Yeah, we’ll stay
Seventeen summers strong (mm)
