Lyrics:

Seventeen and innocent I wonder where all the years went Lookin' back on a youth misspent God, I miss those days All the chances that we took Always leaped and never looked I tell you I could write a book On all the hell we raised (Chorus:) Thought i was cool with my lucky stripes I didn't start too many fights But in those days i finished quite a few Beat-up cars and the cheapest wine And any trouble we could find The worst of days were the best of times Lookin' back through life's rearview Lookin' back I miss my misspent youth I'm no worse now for the wear I've gotten married and cut my hair Me and her we're quite a pair All my friends say And speaking of old friends We still talk now and then 'Cept now there's a few of them You can only reach by prayer (Chorus:) We were cool with our lucky stripes Didn't start too many fights But in those days we finished quite a few Beat-up cars and the cheapest wine And any trouble that we could find The worst of days were the best of times Lookin' back through life's rearview And lookin' back I miss my misspent youth Beat-up cars and the cheapest wine And any trouble we could find The worst of days were the best of times Lookin' back through life's rearview And lookin' back I miss my misspent youth I miss my misspent youth
