17 In Abilene      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
