lyrics

Denim dreams - top down in a borrowed car
Chewing on dead skin dust and a bleeding heart
Chasing down the setting sun - the relentless call of the road
Exhale and let it go where nobody knows
Where the wind blows

When you're seventeen
Young and wild like Jimmy Dean

Like James Dean, like James Dean
Like James Dean

Depressed and stoned - staring out over the hills
It's the silence in the dark that truly kills
Staring at the cigarette moon blowing smoke into our souls
Exhale and let it go where nobody knows
Where the wind blows

When you're seventeen
Young and wild like Jimmy Dean

Like James Dean, like James Dean
Like James Dean

When you're seventeen
Young and wild like Jimmy Dean
When you're seventeen
Young and wild like Jimmy Dean
When you're seventeen
Young and wild like Jimmy Dean

Like James Dean, like James Dean, like James Dean, like James Dean, like James Dean
