After 17 Lyrics - Alan Jackson

Her right hand closed the front porch door 

Suddenly a child no more 

All the ribbons all the bows in a box now on her closet floor 

Anxious for what's to come 

Afraid to leave a place she loves 

She's not a woman not a girl 

Trying to find her place in this crazy world 

Meet a lover make a friend 

Try and figure out what this life really means 

After 17

Broken hearts and rusted dreams 

Sometimes make it hard to leave and 

Certainty is out of reach even with some self belief 

So she bites her lip and shows a smile 

Flips her hair and flaunts her style 

She's not a woman not a girl 

Trying to find her place in this crazy world 

Meet a lover make a friend 

Try and figure out what this life really means 

After 17 

Her memories she stowed away 

Pulls them out on rainy days 

And brand new faces take their place beside the ones that never fade she's strong and fragile, weak and smart 

Whatever the cost she plays the part

She's not a woman not a girl 

Trying to find her place in this crazy world 

Meet a lover make a friend 

Try and figure out what this life really means 

After 17 

Her right hand closed the front porch door 

And suddenly a child no more
