Verse 1 
G5                        G5 
Sirens wale and a flashing light 
                             C5 
Nothing better to do on a Tuesday night 
            G5  
But give me hell,  
G5                                    G5 
Where you headed, what are you out for 
                               C5 
Don?t see much of you around here any more 
                 G5 
I guess its just as well  
D5                       C5 
Once upon a time you had it all 
D5                C5 
You let everybody down 
D5              C5                G5 
You?re always seventeen in your hometown 
 
Chorus 
D5               C5                      G5 
Runnin from your folks, runnin from the law 
D5            C5                  G5                     D5 
Runnin from love, runnin from you fears, runnin from it all 
C5            D5                G5         G5          E5 
You keep on runnin boy, you?ll run yourself in the ground 
C5               D5                 G5  
You?re always seventeen in your hometown 
 
Verse 2  
Her porch swing still looks the same 
She probably won?t even remember my name  
Just like she didn?t back then, is she married is she doin fine 
Does she know about all the nights 
I laid awake cryin?, just to know her hand 
The door opens and I run away, just like the same old clown 
You?re always seventeen in your hometown 
 
Chorus 
 
Verse 3 
Nobody?s gonna miss me 
No tears will fall, no one?s gonna weep 
When I hit the road  
My boots are broken, my head is sore 
From keepin? up with their little world  
I got a heavy load 
Gonna leave ?em all just like before 
I?m big city bound 
You?re always seventeen in your hometown
