G*C**G*C*
[Verse 1]
G ***
Sirens wail and a flashing light
G C
Nothing better to do on a Tuesday night
G*
But give me hell
G ***
Where ya headed, what are you out for
G C
Don't see much of you 'round here anymore
G*
I guess it's just as well
D C
Once upon a time you had it all
D C
You let everybody down
C D G*
You're always seventeen in your hometown.
[Chorus]
D C G
Running from your folks, running from the law
D C G D
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all
C D
You keep on running, boy
G G/F# Em
You'll run yourself in the ground
C D G * **
You're always seventeen in your hometown
[Verse 2]
G ***
Her porch swing still looks the same
G C
She probably won't even remember my name
G***
Just like she didn't back then
G ***
Is she married, is she doing fine
G C
Does she known about all the nights I laid awake cryin'
G*
Just to know her hand
D C
The door opens and I run away
D C
Just like the same old clown
C D G*
You're always seventeen in your hometown
[Chorus]
D C G
Running from your folks, running from the law
D C G D
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all
C D
You keep on running, boy
G G/F# Em
You'll run yourself in the ground
C D G * **
You're always seventeen in your hometown
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
G
Nobody is gonna miss me
G C
No tears will fall, no one's gonna weep
G
When I hit that road
G G
My boots are broken, my brain is sore
C
From keeping up with their little world
G
I've got a heavy load
D C
Gonna leave 'em all just like before
D C
I'm big city bound
C D G*
You're always seventeen in your hometown
[Chorus]
D C G
Running from your folks, running from the law
D C G D
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all
C D
You keep on running, boy
G G/F# Em
You'll run yourself in the ground
C D G * **
You're always seventeen in your hometown
