Seventeen

By David Snyder

V1

She’s wiser than the
Wise men from the Orient
When she thinks about the days away
From home she’s spent
rocking in the cradle of the evening sun
you’re wiser in the days
when you’ve just begun

CH:

And she tells her friends
She thinks she might be Cherokee
Or maybe she’s from Spain
Or France or Italy
But anyway she’s simply
Just beautiful to me
And she’ll only be the thing
That she wants to be
Cause she’s seventeen
Seventeen

V2

I stare out down the road
When we say goodbye
I see her waving in my mind
But I don’t cry
There really is no solid reason to say why
But to say that I don’t hate it
That would be a lie

CH:

And she tells her friends
She thinks she might be Cherokee
Or maybe she’s from Spain
Or France or Italy
But anyway she’ll always always be
the world to me
But she’ll only be the thing
That she wants to be
Because she’s seventeen
seventeen
And she was born to dream
Just like me
Because she’s seventeen
seventeen
seventeen
