Lyrics
Written by ervin drake
When I was seventeen, it was a very good year It was a very good year for small town girls And soft summer nights We'd hide from the light on the village green When I was seventeen
When I was twenty-one, it was a very good year It was a very good year for city girls Who lived up the stairs With all that perfume hair and it came undone When I was twenty-one
When I was thirty-five, it was a very good year It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls Of independent means We'd ride in limousines. their chauffeurs Would drive when I was thirty-five
But now the days are short, I'm in the Autumn of the year And now I think of my life as vintage Wine from fine old kegs From the brim to the dregs. it poured Sweet and clear. it was a very good year
