Turning seventeen and you're bursting at the seams to run Torn up jeans come undone Sneaking out of sight of mom and dad to grab a smoke Oh but they know, they know And summer's gonna leave you stranded with your toes in the pool Lover's gonna leave before you say you love them too Counting all the stars in the heavens up above won't tell you how they shine Just killing time Turning twenty-nine and the years have been unkind they say Aches and pains won't go away Pour another drink and think about your wasted youth Like a rotting tooth, ain't it the truth And summer's gonna leave you stranded with your toes in the pool Lover's gonna leave before you say you love them too Counting all the stars in the heavens up above won't tell you how they shine Just killing time Killing time, killing time Killing time ain't a victimless crime Turning seventeen and you're bursting at the seams to run Torn up jeans come undone Sneaking out of sight of mom and dad to grab a smoke Oh but they know, they know They know, They always know
