Seventeen, seventeen
Seventeen, seventeen
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 neighbors' swimming pool
Yeah he taught me how to break the rules
Seventeen
Hey, these 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
Laid a blanket on the roof top
That time I knew I wouldn't make him stop
The nights were cold, but we kept them hot
Seventeen

Hey, these days are long gone
And when I hear this song
It takes me back
