  • 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
    We were living our dream
    It was you and me
    And we were seventeen

    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Seventeen
    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
    We were living our dream
    It was you and me
    And we were seventeen
