Select language to translate this lyric
They call it endless summer, but itâs the worst Iâve ever had
Iâve been huffing gasoline in by best friendâs trans am
Life in this town ainât as easy as it seems
It eats up your whole heart and spits away your dreams
I can hardly think about it, you know it only brings me down
Iâve been working scrubbing dishes at the diner downtown
Iâm saving up my money, gonna take a greyhound
Load my back with what is needed, and Iâll never settle down
âCome on, babyâ say the visions in my head
Another night in this town and Iâll be the walking dead
Maybe my dreams turn to burdens instead
But Iâm only 17, Iâm headed for the sun, and Iâm getting out of here while Iâm young enough to run
Theyâre all masters with your roots down and all shadows when in flight
Iâll make very breath a prayer, make every word a fight
Ignore every sign of failure even though Iâm sure I might
Iâm 17 so please letâs blow this town tonight
âCome on, babyâ say the visions in my head
Another night in this town and Iâll be the walking dead
Maybe my dreams turn to burdens instead
But Iâm only 17, Iâm headed for the sun, and Iâm getting out of here while Iâm young enough to run
Iâll roam this whole world over âtil the angels take me home
The only things that matter are the ones you do alone
My journey will be endless, my voice will shake your bones
Or at least Iâll have a story this world has never known
âCome on, babyâ say the visions in my head
Another night in this town and Iâll be the walking dead
Maybe my dreams turn to burdens instead
But Iâm only 17, Iâm headed for the sun, and Iâm getting out of here while Iâm young enough to run
