17 Lyrics

He was working at the record shop
I would kiss him in the parking lot
Tasting like cigarettes and soda pops
Seventeen
He would tell me I was beautiful
Sneaking in the neighbour's swimming pool
Yeah, he taught me how to break the rules
Seventeen

But hey, this isn't long gone
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 some love
That's the way it's supposed to be
Seventeen

Stealing beers out of this trailer park
Flicking lighters just to fight the dark
Favorite place was sitting in his car
Seventeen
We laid a blanket on the rooftop
And telling you I want to be a star
It was cold but you kept me hot
Seventeen

But hey, this isn't long gone
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 some 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 we were living our dream, we were living like a dream
We were seventeen
I remember what it felt like
Just a small town kind of life
If only I could 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 some 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 we were living our dream, we were living like a dream
We were seventeen

Seventeen...
