Route 17, or Highway 17 can refer to the following roads:
For the roads named "A17", see list of A17 roads.
State Route 17 (SR 17), commonly known as Highway 17, is a freeway and expressway that runs between San Jose and Santa Cruz in the U.S. State of California. SR 17 carries substantial commuter and vacation traffic between San Jose and Santa Cruz.
SR 17 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System and is eligible for the State Scenic Highway System. However, it has not been designated as a scenic highway by Caltrans.
From its southern terminus with SR 1 in Santa Cruz, Route 17 begins as a four-lane freeway. From there, it proceeds through Scotts Valley. At the north end of Scotts Valley, it becomes a four-lane divided highway, with access at various points without interchanges, and begins a winding ascent of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The road crosses the Santa Clara/Santa Cruz county line through the Patchen Pass, commonly referred to as "The Summit", at an elevation of 1,800 feet (549 m), where there is an interchange with SR 35. Just north of the summit, a winding descent of the mountains begins, again with access at various points, mostly without grade separations, as far as Los Gatos. At Los Gatos, Route 17 becomes a freeway again. It expands to six lanes after an interchange with SR 85. This interchange has three levels; it is unusual in that the top level (CA 17) is at-grade, with the other levels below-grade. The number of lanes later expands to eight shortly before reaching its northern terminus at Interstate 280, where it continues as Interstate 880.
South Dakota Highway 17 is a state route located in southeast South Dakota. It begins in Lennox, at a junction with South Dakota Highway 44. It runs northerly to South Dakota Highway 42 west of Sioux Falls. It is just less than 14 miles (23 km) in length. Wildwater West, the largest waterpark in South Dakota is located along this highway.
SD 17 begins at an intersection with SD 44 in Lennox. The highway continues north and runs just west of Tea before entering Minnehaha County. Just north of the Minnehaha county line lies Wildwater West, the largest waterpark in South Dakota. About two miles north of the waterpark, SD 17 meets its northern terminus at an intersection with SD 42 just west of Sioux Falls.
The route of SD 17 is defined in South Dakota Codified Laws § 31-4-140.
South Dakota Highway 17 was implemented around 1929. While the northern alignment has not changed, the highway originally extended southward from Lennox to an intersection with South Dakota Highway 46 near Centerville. This southern segment was decommissioned in 1994.
Don't bother sittin at my table
Just because I'm on my own
Yes I'm a woman and I'm lonely
But that don't mean I can't be strong
Once again he's not beside me
And tonight he won't be coming home
So I just need a place to miss my baby
When he goes out to do me wrong
Tonight I wanna do some drinkin'
I came to listen to the band
Yes I'm as good as what you're thinkin'
But I don't wanna hold your hand
And I know I'm lookin lonely
But there's nothin' here I wanna find
It's just the way of a woman
When she goes out to walk the line
Every night's a little longer
Than the one that came before
But when I hear them sing a sad song
I know just what I'm cryin' for
I don't wanna stay home waitin'
Don't have to wonder where he's been
He'll be someone else's baby
Before he's in my arms again
Tonight I wanna do some drinkin'
I came to listen to the band
Yes I'm as good as what you're thinkin'
But I don't wanna hold your hand
And I know I'm lookin lonely
But there's nothin' here I wanna find
It's just the way of a woman
When she goes out to walk the line
It's just the way of a woman
