Brian Kirk And The Jirks - At 17 lyrics

At 17 my mother's screams at night could wake the dead Four days this week I didn't make the bed What's important to you now is something we don't share Can you learn to fear when your already scared? I'm lining up defenseless for a war that's never won Some things are easy for some I'm looking at the road again, the futures lined and neat Required college courses on a sheet But there is no choice for you, while your father pays the fee So register into your destiny... Then tell me what its like to be the one Some things are easy for some I'd end it all right now to know someone Give me a gun- some things are easy for some I haven't known the girl I know; I wonder what it's like To sleep with her on some romantic night With no football jacket to offer her And a face with cheeks this wide there was only one Way I was getting inside Spend time on my music and hope my looks Shell overcome but...some things are easy for some All the songs I wrote about her I never could get done Some things are easy for some
