2 young kids, a night in May
A country road & a Chevrolet
Beneath the summer moon
Almost a woman, almost a man
Things like this get out of hand
17, & that's too soon
CHORUS:
You can call it youth
& blame it on the night, you can call it life
& say that it's not right, you can call it foolish
Blame it on the stars above, call it what you want
I call it love
Blood runs high &, wrong or right
They lose their heads & run off one night
& what's done can't be undone
Thinkin' life's an easy thing
A borrowed dress & a wedding ring
18, & that's too young
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Time goes on & in a while
It's a rented room & a month-old child
& they're down to just gettin' by
It's hard to last when life's that way
People shake their heads & say
They won't make it, ah but they might
