He was working at the record shop

I would kiss him in the parking lot

Tasting like cigarettes and soda pop

Seventeen

He would tell me I was beautiful

Sneaking in the neighbor's swimming pool

Yeah, he taught me how to break the rules

Seventeen

Hey, those days are long gone

And when I hear this song it takes me back

We were on top of the world

Back when I was your girl

We were living so wild and free

Acting stupid for fun

All we needed was love

That's the way it's supposed to be

Seventeen

Stealing beers out of the trailer park

Flicking lighters just to fight the dark

My favorite place was sitting in his car

Seventeen

We laid a blanket on the roof top

That time I knew I wouldn't make him stop

The nights were cold but we kept 'em hot

Seventeen

Hey, those days are long gone

And when I hear this song it takes me back

We were on top of the world,

Back when I was your girl

We were living so wild and free

Acting stupid for fun

All we needed was love

That's the way it's supposed to be

We were running red lights

We were going all night

Didn't care about anything

'cause it was you and me

We were living our dream

And we were seventeen

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Seventeen

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Seventeen

I remember what it felt like

Just a small town kind of life

If I could only just go back in time,

Seventeen

We were on top of the world

Back when I was your girl

We were living so wild and free

Acting stupid for fun

All we needed was love

That's the way it's supposed to be

We were running red lights

We were going all night

Didn't care about anything

'cause it was you and me

We were living our dream

And we were seventeen
