I had a bone to pick with life
Chip on my shoulder to survive
Had to prove that I was right
Even if I got a black eye
She was as smart as I was dumb
She had me wrapped around her thumb
I didn't know I was in love
Even if I knew what love was
But I remember seventeen
Living easy on the breeze
No one could tell me anything
But then again, I knew everything
Drinking beer I stole from dad
Copenhagen contraband
Damn it, life was simple then
Back when mistakes were free
And love was just a feeling
Love was just a feeling
Skipping school to pass the time
Gas was cheap and I was wild
Stay out late, go for a drive
The world stopped at the county line
But I remember seventeen
Living easy on the breeze
No one could tell me anything
But then again, I knew everything
Drinking beer I stole from dad
Copenhagen contraband
Damn it, life was simple then
Back when mistakes were free
And love was just a feeling
Love was just a feeling
But I remember seventeen
Living easy on the breeze
No one could tell me anything
But then again, I knew everything
Drinking beer I stole from dad
Copenhagen contraband
Damn it, life was simple then
Back when mistakes were free
And love was just a feeling
Love was just a feeling
