Seventeen and Springsteen playin' on the ole Victrola Crinoline and bobby pins, mama's waitin' with the camera Doorbell rings, the limousine drives off with my innocence Kissed the guy and kissed goodbye to my party dress Always the bridesmaid runnin' lines in pantyhose Holdin' trains and bouquets and dancin' in dusty rose Tryin' not to cry while I toast to my best friend Gettin' spray tan on the best man, makin' out in my party dress Never felt so pretty twirlin' in that fabric Makin' memories like it's some kind of magic Some things I wanna hold onto, some things I'd like to forget But you can bet I'll look my best in my party dress Linin' up at the nightclub in somethin' a little too short Makin' rounds around the room and spinnin' on the bathroom floor If I had to guess, I got some numbers and a few regrets But this mornin' I ain't mournin' what I did in my party dress Never felt so pretty twirlin' in that fabric Makin' memories like it's some kind of magic Some things I wanna hold onto, some things I'd like to forget But you can bet I'll look my best in my party dress Yeah you can bet I'll look my best in my party dress
