LYRICS

(Seventeen, seventeen)
(Seventeen, seventeen)

He was working at the record shop
I would kiss him in the parking lot
Tasted like cigarettes and soda pop
Seventeen (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
But when I hear that 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 (seventeen, seventeen)

Stealing beers out of the trailer park
Flicking lighters just to fight the dark
My favorite place was sittin’ in his car
Seventeen (seventeen)
We laid a blanket on the rooftop
That time I knew I wouldn’t make him stop
The nights were cold, but we kept ’em hot
Seventeen (seventeen)

Hey, those days are long gone
But when I hear that 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 the dream
And we were seventeen

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh (seventeen)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh (seventeen)

Yeah, I remember what it felt like
Just a small-town kinda 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 (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 the dream
And we were seventeen

Seventeen (seventeen, seventeen)
