17 Years

Seventeen years and still we're here together
Pardon my tears but it breaks me up sometimes
A young boy from New Hampshire, a widespread panic fan
Seventeen years, look at us, here we stand

Remember those nights up late in Pasadena
Some were so good but some had us out of our minds
I tried leaving music, you tried leaving town
Seventeen years, look at us still around

Love like this, it's a
Chance, it's a gift
It's the kind that people try to
Build a whole life with
Come what may, it will
Grow, it will change
If it ever drifts too far
We search and we find it

The good times, the hard ones
The laughter, the tears
Seventeen years

Couple years passed, we packed and moved to Charleston
Family in mine and Ruby in the moving truck
Now Penny, she's a warrior and Milo can't be stopped
Seventeen years, look at all we've got

Love like this, it's a
Chance, it's a gift
It's the kind that people try to
Build a whole life with
Come what may, it will
Grow, it will change
If it ever drifts too far
We search and we find it

The good times, the hard ones
The laughter, the tears
Seventeen years

Walking out back, we talk about the future
Maybe we'll build a cabin in the woods
Make ourselves some coffee, find that morning sun
Seventeen years, baby we're far from done
Seventeen years, so many more to come
