Seventeen years and still we're here together Pardon my tears but it breaks me up sometimes A young boy from New Hampshire, a widespread panic fan Seventeen years, look at us, here we stand Remember those nights up late in Pasadena Some were so good but some had us out of our minds I tried leaving music, you tried leaving town Seventeen years, look at us still around Love like this, it's a Chance, it's a gift It's the kind that people try to Build a whole life with Come what may, it will Grow, it will change If it ever drifts too far We search and we find it The good times, the hard ones The laughter, the tears Seventeen years Couple years passed, we packed and moved to Charleston Family in mine and Ruby in the moving truck Now Penny, she's a warrior and Milo can't be stopped Seventeen years, look at all we've got Love like this, it's a Chance, it's a gift It's the kind that people try to Build a whole life with Come what may, it will Grow, it will change If it ever drifts too far We search and we find it The good times, the hard ones The laughter, the tears Seventeen years Walking out back, we talk about the future Maybe we'll build a cabin in the woods Make ourselves some coffee, find that morning sun Seventeen years, baby we're far from done Seventeen years, so many more to come
