He was working at the record shop

I would kiss him in the parking lot

Tasted 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

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

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 rooftop

That time I knew I wouldn't make him stop

The nights were cold but we kept them hot

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

Cause we were seventeen

Oh oh oh oh seventeen

Oh oh oh oh seventeen

Yeah 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 the dream

Cause we were seventeen
