[00:00.00]3rd Gear & 17 (Live) - Aaron Watson
[00:29.53]I held the keys to that old Chevrolet
[00:33.00]And you held the keys to my heart
[00:35.63]I'd throw a fit hit the dash
[00:37.54]Get out and kick the tire
[00:39.27]When that old piece of junk wouldn't start
[00:42.15]It'd be smoking good I'd slam down the hood
[00:45.72]Just to see you there laughing at me
[00:48.80]On the other side of a dirty windshield
[00:51.88]Lookin' as pretty as you could be
[00:55.02]We sure saw a lot of miles
[00:58.50]Never even crossed that county line
[01:01.68]I would've bet the farm given my right arm
[01:05.50]So you'd always be mine
[01:08.10]Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn
[01:11.74]Or run out of gasoline
[01:14.78]I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
[01:24.85]In the blink of an eye high school flew by
[01:27.89]You went your way and I went mine
[01:30.81]But we swore we'd make it
[01:33.06]Our love could take it
[01:34.27]Four hundred miles could stand the test of time
[01:37.87]Well I left that fall to play college ball
[01:40.82]But my dreams would all come to an end
[01:43.81]'Cause you know the big leagues never called
[01:47.00]And you went and fell in love with him
[01:50.31]We sure saw a lot of miles
[01:53.55]Never even crossed that county line
[01:56.79]I would've bet the farm given my right arm
[02:00.72]So you'd always be mine
[02:03.25]Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn
[02:06.89]Or run out of gasoline
[02:09.83]I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
[02:30.70]Memories flash through my mind like old faded photographs
[02:35.79]I still think about you in that red Malibu
[02:39.45]And I just can't help but laugh
[02:42.31]We sure saw a lot of miles
[02:45.40]Never even crossed that county line
[02:48.73]I would've bet the farm given my right arm
[02:52.63]So you'd always be mine
[02:55.30]Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn
[02:58.89]Or run out of gasoline
[03:01.80]I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
[03:09.96]Around 3rd gear and 17
[03:14.45]Baby I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
