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
