[Lyric] Me At 17 (Jake Bleau)

[Verse 1]
I went down to the hardware store
Had a young boy help me load a 4 x 4
I ask him about his life
Why you workin all these dateless nights
And he said, working hard just to earn a buck
Sweatin every summer but I’m savin up
There’s a truck I need to buy
And a girl that needs a ride

[Pre-Chorus]
I just smile and said
I know what you mean
I drove away and thought
If that ain’t me at 17

[Chorus]
Of chasin girls around with a fake I.D
And never backed down with some old S.O.B
On Friday nights he’ll get thrown out of Center street
Because Saturdays he’s up in a tree
Tryin to drop a buck like his daddy
On Sundays his mama’s tryin
Get-em praying on his knees
To break some hearts, brеak some laws
Get some scars еverybody can see
If he’s like me at 17
[Verse 2]
Skippin class just to toss a line
Smokin grass for the first time
And catchin nothin but a good time
My own momma tried

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Bridge]
Now I’ve got a home
A woman of my dreams
I ask her what she saw
In a wild eye boy like me

[Chorus]

[Outro]
If I wasn’t me at 17
If I wasn’t me at 17
