17 - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

In and out of trouble, in and out of love

She had that dirty blonde hair, my vanilla cream-puff

She looked just like a million, maybe even two

I remember everything, how about you?

Ice cream kisses, summer in the park

Momma gettin' mad when we would sneak out in the dark

I'd take you to the movies just so I could hold your hand

You were my pretty lady, and I was your man

But I remember that one night like it was yesterday

We were standing in the moonlight, there was nothing in the way

You looked into my eyes and said, "Show me love

Right here, right now, under the stars above"

We were 17, under the chestnut tree

I heard the thunder rolling as you sat down on me

And I was so in love, in love with you

I would have done anything for you

You had beautiful features, and those beat up Adidas

We'd be kissing at the game, hiding out under the bleachers

And the crowd was going "Yeah", you were going "Ohh"

Until Mr. Van Egeren showed up out the blue

Hot damn, we must've been running all night

When we got to your momma's house, you looked me in the eyes

And gave me a kiss, right before you'd say

That you're moving so far away

And I know it's over, yeah

You got tears rolling down your cheeks

You looking at me with those hazel eyes

That night under the chestnut tree

We were 17, under the chestnut tree

I heard the thunder rolling as you sat down on me

And I was so in love, in love with you

I would have done anything for you

We were 17, under the chestnut tree

I heard the thunder rolling as you sat down on me

And I was so in love, lo-lo-lo-love with you

I would have done anything for you
