Your momma and daddy can't take care of themselves
So I'm gonna look after you
Your daddy loves liquor and your momma needs help
'cause all of her nightmares came true

I got this car when my granddaddy passed
So meet me just after last bell
I've got twenty dollars it'll get us some gas
We won't get to far, we won't get there fast
But it's twenty dollars further from hell

Leave it to me 'cause i'm 17
Leave it to me, we'll get through
If' you'll be my queen then I'll play a king
And I'll always look after you

Just leave it to me
I am a king at 17
Leave it to me...
I am the king of 17

We head to the east to catch up to the sun
You smile as you watch it rise
We come from nothing, we leave nothing behind
My world is the hope in your eyes

Leave it to me 'cause i'm 17
Leave it to me, we'll get through
If' you'll be my queen and I'll play your king
I'll always take care of you

Just leave it to me
I am a king at 17
Leave it to me...
I am the king of 17.
