When I get drunk or I get high
I take that airplane in my mind
Sail it across the bourbon sky
And dive into blue water
I swim up towards the crystal clear
I break the surface, breathe the air
Just like that, I’m right back there
On a lake dock ladder
And nothing matters
I’m in heaven seventeen
A water town still full of dreams
We drank from a whiskey bottle
Head in the clouds, heart on the throttle
Sometimes, when life puts me through hell
I go back in time and find myself
And I’m alive as I can be
Back in heaven seventeen
Silver moon on golden skin
Stonewash cutoffs climbing in
Push off the dock, cut through the wind
Til we cut the motor
Anchor down and count the stars
Floating nowhere in the dark
Light a fire in my heart
First time I get to hold her
I’m in heaven seventeen
A water town still full of dreams
We drank from a whiskey bottle
Head in the clouds, heart on the throttle
Sometimes, when life puts me through hell
I go back in time and find myself
And I’m alive as I can be
Back in heaven seventeen
When the world gets heavy
Feels like I’m sinking like a stone
I fly back on a memory to see
The me I used to be back home
The here and now keeps spinning
But somehow, it slows down just enough
To remind me who I was
Back in heaven seventeen
A water town still full of dreams
We drank from a whiskey bottle
We were living like there was no tomorrow
Sometimes, when life puts me through hell
I go back in time and find myself
And I’m alive as I can be
Back in heaven seventeen
I take that airplane in my mind
Sail it across the bourbon sky
And dive into blue water
I swim up towards the crystal clear
I break the surface, breathe the air
Just like that, I’m right back there
On a lake dock ladder
And nothing matters
I’m in heaven seventeen
A water town still full of dreams
We drank from a whiskey bottle
Head in the clouds, heart on the throttle
Sometimes, when life puts me through hell
I go back in time and find myself
And I’m alive as I can be
Back in heaven seventeen
Silver moon on golden skin
Stonewash cutoffs climbing in
Push off the dock, cut through the wind
Til we cut the motor
Anchor down and count the stars
Floating nowhere in the dark
Light a fire in my heart
First time I get to hold her
I’m in heaven seventeen
A water town still full of dreams
We drank from a whiskey bottle
Head in the clouds, heart on the throttle
Sometimes, when life puts me through hell
I go back in time and find myself
And I’m alive as I can be
Back in heaven seventeen
When the world gets heavy
Feels like I’m sinking like a stone
I fly back on a memory to see
The me I used to be back home
The here and now keeps spinning
But somehow, it slows down just enough
To remind me who I was
Back in heaven seventeen
A water town still full of dreams
We drank from a whiskey bottle
We were living like there was no tomorrow
Sometimes, when life puts me through hell
I go back in time and find myself
And I’m alive as I can be
Back in heaven seventeen
