3rd Gear & 17 |
| I held the keys to that Chevrolet |
| And you held the keys to my heart |
| I’d throw a fit, hit the dash |
| Get out and kick the tire |
| When that old piece of junk wouldn’t start |
| It’d be smoking good I’m slam down the hood |
| Just to see you laughing at me |
| On the other side of a dirty windshield |
| Lookin' as pretty as you could be |
| We sure saw a lot of miles |
| Never even crossed that county line |
| I would’ve bet the farm, given my right arm |
| So you’d always be mine |
| Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn |
| Or run out of gasoline? |
| I lost you around 3rd gear and 17 |
| In the blink of an eye high school flew by |
| You went your way and I went mine |
| But we swore we’d make it |
| Our love could take it |
| 400 miles could stand the test of time |
| Well I left that fall to play college ball |
| But my dreams would all come to an end |
| 'Cause you know the big leagues never called |
| And you went and fell in love with him |
| We sure saw a lot of miles |
| Never even crossed that county line |
| I would’ve bet the farm, given my right arm |
| So you’d always be mine |
| Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn |
| Or run out of gasoline? |
| I lost you around 3rd gear and 17 |
| Memories flash through my mind like old faded photographs |
| I still think about you in that red Malibu |
| And I just can’t help but laugh |
| We sure saw a lot of miles |
| Never even crossed that county line |
| I would’ve bet the farm, given my right arm |
| So you’d always be mine |
| Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn |
| Or run out of gasoline? |
| I lost you around 3rd gear and 17 |
| Love broke down around 3rd gear and 17 |
| I lost you around 3rd gear and 17 |
