17, you don't think that much about life, you just live it

Like kerosene dancing around a fire, but you're in it

So you jump right in, ain't afraid to fall, and you give it all

He got the best of me, he broke my heart

Now all that's left of me, is beating in this guitar

Yeah, every night a different town, he follows me around

So you get what's left of me

Yeah, you get what's left of me

'Cause he got the best of me, ooh

I picked myself up off the floor

And found something new worth living for

In an old dusty hand-me-down six string, and a couple chords

I'm getting over him a little more with every song

So y'all sing along

He got the best of me, he broke my heart

Now all that's left of me, is beating in this guitar

Yeah, every night a different town, he follows me around

So you get what's left of me

Yeah, you get what's left of me

'Cause he got the best of me

Oh, he got the best of me, oh

He got the best of me, he broke my heart

Now all that's left of me, is beating in this guitar

Yeah, every night a different town, he follows me around

So you get what's left of me, yeah

Yeah, you get what's left of me

'Cause he got the best of me

He got the best of me, yeah

He got the best of me
