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 told me how to break the rules
17
But hey, this isn't long gone
'Cause when I hear the 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 its supposed to be
17
Stealing beers out of the trailer park
Flicking lighters just to fight the dark
Favorite place was sitting in his car
17
Lay a blanket on the rooftop
That time I knew I wouldn't make him stop
The nights were cold but we kept 'em hot
17
But hey, this isn't long gone
When I hear the 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 it was you and me
We were living our dream
We were 17
Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh
I remember what it felt like
Just a small town kind of life
If only I could 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 its 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 like a dream
We were 17
