It'd take about 900 miles round trip
|
To walk on the Gulf of Mexico
|
We'd jump in my daddy's beat up truck
|
Drive all night and don't look back
|
Momma she'd go crazy
|
Just wonderin' where we're at
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Seventeen in Abilene
|
You and me, biggest sky you've ever seen
|
There're so many miles of open road
|
And so many places still left to go
|
Seventeen, runnin' from Abilene
|
|
It doesn't take much for us to drive away
|
Cause all we need's just a little bit of faith
|
I got fifty bucks in my pocket
|
It'll get us there, but maybe not back
|
The sun is shining from head to toe
|
And I don't think I'll ever let you go
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Seventeen in Abilene
|
You and me, biggest sky you've ever seen
|
There're so many miles of open road
|
And so many places still left to go
|
Seventeen, runnin' from Abilene
|
|
I see the stars in your eyes
|
Let's start the rest of our lives tonight
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Seventeen in Abilene
|
You and me, biggest sky you've ever seen
|
There're so many miles of open road
|
There're so many places still left to go
|
Seventeen, runnin' from Abilene
|
