G               Cadd9           G
It'd take about 900 miles round trip 
               Cadd9       G  Cadd9  G Cadd9   G
To walk on the Gulf of Mexico
                Cadd9           G
We'd jump in my daddy's beat up truck
          Cadd9                G   Cadd9  G Cadd9 
Drive all night and don't look back
F              C
Momma she'd go crazy 
                           D
Just wonderin' where we're at


[Chorus]

Cadd9           G
Seventeen in Abilene
       Cadd9                        D
You and me, biggest sky you've ever seen
Cadd9                     G
There're so many miles of open road
    Cadd9                G
And so many places still left to go
Cadd9                   D  G
Seventeen, runnin' from Abilene


[Verse]

G               Cadd9                 G
It doesn't take much for us to drive away
             Cadd9                       G    Cadd9  G 
Cause all we need's just a little bit of faith
            Cadd9               G
I got fifty bucks in my pocket
             Cadd9                G   Cadd9  
It'll get us there, but maybe not back
F              C                G
The sun is shining from head to toe 
F              C                    D
And I don't think I'll ever let you go


[Chorus]

Cadd9           G
Seventeen in Abilene
       Cadd9                        D
You and me, biggest sky you've ever seen
Cadd9                     G
There're so many miles of open road
    Cadd9                G
And so many places still left to go
Cadd9                   D  G
Seventeen, runnin' from Abilene


[Bridge]

F                      C
I see the stars in your eyes
F                           C       D
Let's start the rest of our lives tonight


[Chorus]

Cadd9           G
Seventeen in Abilene
       Cadd9                        D
You and me, biggest sky you've ever seen
Cadd9                     G
There're so many miles of open road
    Cadd9                G
And so many places still left to go
Cadd9                   D  G
Seventeen, runnin' from Abilene
         D      G
Seventeen, runnin' from Abilene
