Sirens wail and a flashin' light
Nothing better to do on a Tuesday night
But give me hell
Where you headed? What are you out for?
We don't see much of you 'round here anymore
I guess it's just as well
Once upon a time you had it all
You let everybody down
You're always 17 in your hometown
Runnin' from your folks, runnin' from the law
Runnin' from love, runnin' from your fears
Runnin' from it all
You keep on runnin', boy
You run yourself in the ground
You're always 17 in your hometown
Her porch swing still looks the same
She probably won't even remember my name
Just like she didn't back then
Is she married? Is she doin' fine?
Does she know about all the nights I lay awake cryin'
Just to know her hand?
The door opens and I run away
Just like the same ol' clown
You're always 17 in your hometown
Runnin' from your folks, runnin' from the law
Runnin' from love, runnin' from your fears
Runnin' from it all
You keep on runnin', boy
You run yourself in the ground
You're always 17 in your hometown

Well, nobody is gonna miss me
No tears will fall, no one's gonna weep
When I hit that road
My boots are broken, my brain is sore
From keepin' up with their little world
I got a heavy load
Gonna leave 'em on just like before
A big city bound
You're always 17 in your hometown
Runnin' from your folks, runnin' from the law
Runnin' from love, runnin' from your fears
Runnin' from it all
You keep on runnin', boy
You run yourself in the ground
You're always 17-
Yeah, you're always 17-
You're always 17 in your hometown
