I was in my purple polyester dress
You in your fedora looking your best
Cheech & Chong was on the stereo
at our picture perfect homecoming dance
We were wild and free, seventeen
Free birds, flying in the wind
For just one day I'd like to go back again to
Wild and free, Seventeen
Dancin' at Charley McGruders
Gettin' in under-age was a piece-of-cake
The girls just smiled at the bouncers
Only a fool would have turned us away
Repeat Chorus
Everything changed after our senior year
I went off to college and he went to jail for five years
But the more I know the less I understand
So let's go back where we knew everything
Repeat Chorus
I was in my purple polyester dress
You in your fedora looking your best
