1st verse:
Back when I was 17 ohh
Back when I was 17 yeah
Back when I was 17 I had a notion
That I would see the whole world across the ocean
My mum be working hard but she get no promotion
She'd be there every day for me
That's devotion
We never had a chance to go to the Aussie open
We used to collect cans for them S.A tokens
She tried to fix my heart but tragedy broke it
I know I'm trying hard but destiny spoke

Aussie
Aussie
Aussie Aussie Ego
And it's that

2nd verse:
Back when I was 17
I stopped trying to kill myself
I turned my whole life around
Positivity and Health
And I lost my identity
And I came from housing trust be been living in castles
How's the serenity wooo
I'm a lover not a fighter
Only thing I wanna break is these ceilings in my way
Can't learn to fly in just a day
My self love coulda been better but my ambitions would not Frey
My self love will not frey don't hold that in
I gotta let it go

Aussie
Aussie
Aussie Aussie E-go

And it's that
X2

3rd verse:
Back when I was 17 though
My life was all trouble
I seeked guidance and love
And my mental was real struggle
There's no help but yourself do what you love and live
Spread peace and love and health to these kids
From the orange brick
Housing flats to the whole world across the map
Got me thankful to be standing on an ancient country
Woahhh

Aussie
Aussie
Aussie Aussie Ego
And it's that
X2

Outro:
Thank God I'm not 17 yeah
Thank God I'm not 17 Again
Thank God I'm not 17
Thank God I'm not 17 Again
