If I could write a letter to me

and send it back in time

to myself at seventeen

first I'd prove it's me by sayin'

look under your bed there's a Skoal can

and a Playboy no one else would know you

hid and then I'd say I know it's tough

when you break up after 7 months

and yeah I know you really liked her

and it just don't seem fair

but all I can say is pain like that

is fast and it's rare

and oh you got so much

goin' for you goin' right

but I know at 17 it's hard to see

past Friday night

she wasn't right for you

and still you feel like there's a knife

stickin' out of your back

and you're wonderin' if you'll survive

but you'll make it through

this and you'll see

you're still around to write

this letter to me

at the stop sign

at Tomlinson and 8th

always stop completely

don't just tap your brakes

and when you

get a date with Bridgette

make sure the tank is full

on second thought forget it

that one turns out kinda cool

each and every time you have a fight

just assume you're wrong and daddy's right

and you should really thank Miss Brinkman

she spent so much extra time

It's like she sees the diamond underneath

and she's polishin'you 'til you shine

and oh you got so much

goin' for you goin' right

but I know at 17

it's hard to see

past Friday night

tonight's the bonfire rally

but you're staying home instead

because if you fail algebra

mom and dad'll kill you dead

trust me you'll squeak by

and get a C

and you're still around to write

this letter to me

you got so much up ahead

you'll make new friends

you should see

your kids and wife

and I'd end by sayin'

have no fear

these are nowhere near

the best years of your life

I guess I'll

see you in the mirror

when you're a grown man

p.s. go hug aunt Rita

every chance you can

and oh you got so much

goin' for you goin' right

but I know at 17

it's hard to see

past Friday night

I wish you'd study Spanish

I wish you'dtake a typing class

I wish you wouldn't worry

let it be

I'd say have a little faith

and you'll see

if I could write

a letter to me

to me
