Seventeen

Scott Whitby, 2020


Seventeen

Couldn't get hurt

Knew everything

Impressive with no shirt


Stout

Brown from the sun

Lift anything

Should see me run


Ambitious

Ain't stayin' here

A lot to do

None to fear


Awake

All night long

Doing the work

Never wrong


Girls

They didn't know

I'd take them along

Just to show


My best year

You should've seen

Nothing to lose

I was seventeen


Alot of years since then

I know alot more

Not seventeen today

Such a different score


Gettin' old now

No longer green

Thank God every day

I'm not seventeen


But I'd live it again and

I wish everybody had seen

What I thought I was

When I was seventeen
