Lyrics
Verse 1
We were seventeen by the old feed storeYou wore red shoes on that dusty floorI had a borrowed truck and a nervous grinYou said, “Don’t drive too fast,” and I fell right inThen your folks moved west, mine headed southA goodbye got caught in both our mouthsTwo young hearts took two different roadsAnd the years put miles where the wild grass grows
Pre‑Chorus
I kept your name in a box of photographsLife kept rolling, but it never closed the gap
Chorus
Look who I found, look who I foundAfter all these years, you’re still my favorite soundFrom seventeen to fifty-two, the truth came back aroundI lost you once, but I won’t nowLook who I found
Verse 2
We met again at a cousin’s wedding danceYou laughed at my boots and gave me one more chanceWe talked till the coffee went cold in the cupAbout every road and every year we missed upBy spring we were making forever plansA simple gold band and two weathered handsWe said our vows with our grown kids nearAnd I thanked every mile that brought you here
Pre‑Chorus
The years made us steady, the waiting made us sureWhat we thought was over had only found a longer cure
Chorus
Look who I found, look who I foundAfter all these years, you’re still my favorite soundFrom seventeen to fifty-two, the truth came back aroundI lost you once, but I won’t nowLook who I found
Bridge
Come sit beside me, let the whole room fadeYour hand in mine is the best choice I ever madeNo borrowed time, no road to runI’d choose you twice before the morning sun
Final Chorus
Look who I found, look who I foundAfter all these years, you’re still my favorite soundFrom seventeen to fifty-two, the truth came back aroundI lost you once, but I won’t nowNo, I won’t nowLook who I found
Outro
My first young love, my right-now homeAfter all these years, I ain’t letting go
