17 Lyrics

[00:00.13] Up on time, no standby
[00:05.98] And I don't even know
[00:09.33] Where I left my phone
[00:13.84] Weeks turn to months in a minute
[00:19.94] What do I be on
[00:23.14] When I'm not home?
[00:28.19] I'm only 17, momma
[00:31.39] Pushed a Chevy to the brink, kinda
[00:35.10] I'm sweatin' through the seats, Donna
[00:38.16] It's hot as hell, and I don't see quite where I'm goin'
[00:41.96] I'm starin' through the ceiling
[00:45.13] Startin' to think that I don't need friends
[00:49.74] Sometimes I don't know where I belong
[00:52.99]
[01:18.84] The first time that I felt impending doom
[01:22.22] Was realizin' I'm too black for the room
[01:25.58] I was pushin' it down, pushin' it down
[01:28.58] Just for you, for you
[01:32.71] You'll never see me like I see you
[01:35.85] Like every dream I had just can't come true
[01:39.20] Now you're talkin' me down, talkin' me down
[01:41.97] So used to hearin' that from you
[01:47.06] I'm only 17, momma
[01:50.38] Pushed a Chevy to the brink, kinda
[01:53.98] I'm sweatin' through the seats, Donna
[01:56.93] It's kinda hard when you don't see quite where you're goin'
[02:00.71] I'm starin' through the ceilin'
[02:04.04] Startin' to think that I don't need friends
[02:10.41] You ain't wrong to go that way
[02:17.03] What I'd give to make you stay
[02:23.93] Not for nothin' I'ma be your babe
[02:30.64] Curled up with you is when I feel safe
[02:34.85] I'm safe, I'm safe, yeah
[02:38.22] I'm only 17, momma
[02:41.47] Pushed a Chevy to the brink for us
[02:44.98] 55 for a week, darlin'
[02:48.47] All the folk, I got em' weavin', stealin'
[02:51.90] It's hard to see the least of us
[02:55.28] I swear, I think I seen somethin'
[02:58.35] I look up, I see the skies open
[03:01.69] I look up, I see it, good God, I know I seen it
[03:05.84]
