Mark Miller - 8teen lyrics

We took Ventura Highway to the Sunshine State Where they raised their hands to Jesus as they pa**ed the plate Oh, and every day we spent there was Valentine's day There's a new team, out in Queens, 8teen And the girl made in Japan was made for me to hold When Vincent lent an ear the night the thunder rolled And the ride we took together was a rodeo Big dreams, six strings, 8teen And for everyone born 8teen runnin' wild and free From the pearly gates of Heaven to the fiery sea Know that each will teach of pa**age through the trinity God's gift runneth 'ore my cup Call it a blessing or you call it luck It all adds up to 8teen And we heard about the letters kept beside his bed And how he never could forget her or the words she said That will forever be enshrined and underlined in red Such sad scenes, so pristine, 8teen He rode that silver bullet 'cross the borderline There beneath the maple leaf signed to the Nimbus 9 And the song he hummed that night moves me every time Fourteen, and so green, 8teen And for everyone born 8teen runnin' wild and free From the pearly gates of Heaven to the fiery sea Know that each will teach of pa**age through the trinity God's gift runneth 'ore my cup Call it a blessing or you call it luck It all adds up to 8teen Forever frozen now in time The night the miracle occurred They walked on water in my mind JC and Uncle Herb Though we never heard the words It all adds up to 8teen And for everyone born 8teen runnin' wild and free From the pearly gates of Heaven to the fiery sea Know that each will teach of pa**age through the trinity God's gift runneth 'ore my cup Call it a blessing or you call it luck It all adds up to 8teen
