Seventeen and innocent
I wonder where all the years went
Lookin` back on a youth misspent
God, I miss those days
All the chances that we took
Always leaped and never looked
I tell you I could write a book
On all the hell we raised
(Chorus:)
Thought i was cool with my lucky stripes
I didn`t start too many fights
But in those days i finished quite a few
Beat-up cars and the cheapest wine
And any trouble we could find
The worst of days were the best of times
Lookin` back through life`s rearview
Lookin` back
I miss my misspent youth
I`m no worse now for the wear
I`ve gotten married and cut my hair
Me and her we`re quite a pair
All my friends say
And speaking of old friends
We still talk now and then
`Cept now there`s a few of them
You can only reach by prayer
(Chorus:)
We were cool with our lucky stripes
Didn`t start too many fights
But in those days we finished quite a few
Beat-up cars and the cheapest wine
And any trouble that we could find
The worst of days were the best of times
Lookin` back through life`s rearview
And lookin` back
I miss my misspent youth
Beat-up cars and the cheapest wine
And any trouble we could find
The worst of days were the best of times
Lookin` back through life`s rearview
And lookin` back
I miss my misspent youth
I miss my misspent youth
