She's only 17, known him since last week
Now they're stealing down an older road
Kissing on the grass, he's moving way too fast
Will she say yes, will she say no
There's a lot riding on that, like her whole life
Like her happiness, just the one wrong turn
And it's a lesson you can't unlearn
The angels look on, holding their breath
Time stands still, oh she's scared to death
Will she find the light or take temptation's path
There's a lot riding on that
It's been one whole month, he hasn't touched that stuff
It's been one whole month, he hasn't touched that stuff
Now he's stopped at a red light, outside Billy's bar
One more binge and she's gone
That green light comes on
Will he pull in, or will he just drive on
There's a lot riding on that, like his whole life
Like his happiness, just the one wrong turn
And it's a lesson you can't unlearn
It's a lesson you can't unlearn
The angels look on, holding their breath
Time stands still, oh she's scared to death
Will she find the light or take temptation's path
There's a lot riding on that
You've got choices, little voices
Talking in your head
Sometimes there are no second chances
You're holding your breath, time stands still
The world could change
In one easy way, I'd second
Any girl, any town
Tiny baby crying loud
She wore baggy shirts to hide it
But the truth is on her now
There's a mission down on fifth
Or there's a garbage bin
Such a little girl, she's got no fear
There's a lot riding on that, like her whole life
Like her happiness, just the one wrong turn
And it's a lesson you can't unlearn
The angels look on, holding their breath
Time stands still, oh she's scared to death
Will she find the light or take temptation's path
There's a lot riding on that
There's a lot riding on that
She was doing so our ride
