The band I play with professionally is Joey and the Jammers. I have been with them about 14 years. I have been playing guitar for 40 years. We play classic rock from the 50's 60's and 70's. If you go to the band site link we have a live demo of the band as well as some other recordings. This site is primarily for me to put up some original songs and share.

Story behind the song

Concept for lyrics will be Dad has to drive his son's jalopy and the memories it brings back.

Lyrics

Took a drive in my son's old car
Didn't think I'd get too far
It burns oil and smells like gas
Oh man now what a mess 
But it was a ride with my memories
Said hello to Linda Lou and dozens more 
that I once knew.
Way back when I was one of the boys.
 
Oh.......... to be seventeen (This is at the 2 chord break)
 
Chorus:
Sometimes I can't help but dream
What it was to be seventeen
Loads of time without a lick of sense
Having fun ah it was so intense
Oh...........to be seventeen
 
Verse 2:
When I think back to what went wrong
Way back then when I was young
I had it made but was too dumb to know
Thought it'd get better when I got old
Man you know I didn't have a clue.
Boones Farm and a couple a beers 
Loud music till it hurt your ears 
That's what it was to be one of the boys.
 
Oh............ to be seventeen
