Happy birthday beautiful girl
You're seventeen today
Time to be mature,
Not so much time to play
Time to make responsible decisions
Based on cold hard facts
There really are no choices
Because time's one thing you can't take back
Do your drugs and kiss your boys
Don't look for hugs and store old toys
Kiss no ass and speak your mind
Because you can't rewind time
So hold no regrets and play the game
Drink your beer and hide your shame
Baby, you know I'm on your team
As we move on to seventeen
Clench your fists but don't bite your tounge
Let lose your blows but hold down your gun
Have your one night stands with your escape plans
Just because you get it doesn't mean you understand
Do your drugs but expect the effects
Get lost in the lifestyle of heroin and sex
You'd never know it because this isn't what it seems
But I'm on your team now that we hit seventeen
