3rd Gear and 17 Full Lyrics
[00:14.44] I held the keys to that ol' Chevrolet
[00:17.81] And you held the keys to my heart
[00:20.78] I'd throw a fit, hit the dash
[00:23.04] Get out and kick the tire
[00:24.69] When that old piece of junk wouldn't start
[00:27.53] It'd be smoking good, I'd slam down the hood
[00:31.48] Just to see you there laughing at me
[00:34.31] On the other side of a dirty windshield
[00:37.76] Lookin' as pretty as you could be
[00:41.05] We sure saw a lot of miles
[00:44.56] Never even crossed that county line
[00:47.72] I would've bet the farm, given my right arm
[00:51.75] So you'd always be mine
[00:54.53] Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn
[00:58.52] Or run out of gasoline?
[01:01.24] I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
[01:11.50] In the blink of an eye, high school flew by
[01:15.01] You went your way, and I went mine
[01:18.21] But we swore we'd make it
[01:20.42] Our love could take it
[01:21.53] Four hundred miles could stand the test of time
[01:25.09] Well, I left that fall to play college ball
[01:28.48] But my dreams would all come to an end
[01:31.67] 'Cause you know the big leagues never called
[01:34.65] And you went and fell in love with him
[01:38.20] We sure saw a lot of miles
[01:41.53] Never even crossed that county line
[01:44.84] I would've bet the farm, given my right arm
[01:48.86] So you'd always be mine
[01:51.59] Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn
[01:55.58] Or run out of gasoline?
[01:58.50] I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
[02:03.97]
[02:19.89] Memories flash through my mind like old faded photographs
[02:25.17] I still think about you in that red Malibu
[02:29.04] And I just can't help but laugh
[02:31.99] We sure saw a lot of miles
[02:35.39] Never even crossed that county line
[02:38.73] I would've bet the farm, given my right arm
[02:42.50] So you'd always be mine
[02:45.26] Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn
[02:49.19] Or run out of gasoline?
[02:52.37] I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
[02:58.79] Love broke down around 3rd gear and 17
[03:05.54] I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
[03:11.20]
