"Damn You Seventeen" lyrics - LADY ANTEBELLUM

LADY ANTEBELLUM
"Damn You Seventeen"
(Rodney Clawson / Luke Laird / Shane McAnally)

I still smell the smoke, I still taste the Crown
I still feel the vinyl of the backseat
With the windows halfway down
Yeah, I still hear "Pour Some Sugar On Me" in the tape deck
With both of us singing along
And I still hear me saying, "Baby, not yet, not yet"

[Pre-Chorus:]
We talk about our memory
Damn, girl, you put a few on me, on me

[Chorus:]
Life pulled out like a limo onto the highway after the prom
Time ran down like a scoreboard on the last hail mary bomb
And my heart's still stuck at a stoplight
With you sitting there next to me
And the red light won't turn green
Yeah, it won't turn green
Damn you, seventeen
Damn you, seventeen

I still smell your hair, I still taste the salt
Mixed with the cherry on your lips
Afraid your momma might come home
I still see all of your vintage rock and roll t-shirts
Hanging on your closet door
Back when we really didn't know what we were
Who we were

[Pre-Chorus:]
We talk about our heartache
I'm still wearing out the replay, the replay

[Chorus:]
Life pulled out like a limo onto the highway after the prom
Time ran down like a scoreboard on the last hail mary bomb
And my heart's still stuck at a stoplight
With you sitting there next to me
And the red light won't turn green
Yeah, it won't turn green
Damn you, seventeen
Damn you, seventeen

[Bridge:]
Well, I want to call
But I bet your number's changed a couple times
A couple towns ago, but I can't let you go

[Chorus:]
Life pulled out like a limo onto the highway after the prom
Time ran down like a scoreboard on the last hail mary bomb
And my heart's still stuck at a stoplight
With you sitting there next to me
And the red light won't turn green
No, it won't turn green
Damn you, seventeen
Damn you, seventeen

[Outro:]
Damn you, seventeen
My heart's still stuck at a stoplight
With you sitting there next to me
And I wanna call you
Damn you, seventeen
