17 lyrics

He was working at the record shop

I would kiss him in the parking lot

Tasting like cigarettes and soda pop

17

He would tell me I was beautiful

Sneaking in the neighbour's swimming pool

Yeah, he taught me how to break the rules

17

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 some love

That's the way it's supposed to be

17

Stealing beers out of the trailer park

Flicking lighters just to fight the dark

My favorite place was sitting in his car

17

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

17

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 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

We were living the dream

It was you and me

And we were 17

Yeah I remember what it felt like

Just a small town kind of life

If I could only just go back in time

17

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

We were living the dream

It was you and me

And we were 17
