Burnt Orange Hoodoo Gurus

When I was seventeen
My blood was gasoline
No matter where I turned
I got my fingers burned

I wouldn't go back there if I could
I wouldn't go back there if I could

But then I turned twenty one
No fear of anyone
I always let them know
If they were friend or foe

I wouldn't go back there if I could
I wouldn't go back there if I could

I remember very well
Way back then I went through hell
Well, oh, well

I remember very well
Way back then I went through hell
Always thought I was smart
Never played it from the heart

I never listened to
My daddy's point of view
And though I wish I had
Things they turned out so bad
