He was working at the record shop
I would kiss him in the parking lot
Tasting like cigarettes and soda pop
He would tell me I was beautiful
Sneaking in the neighbor's swimming pool
Yeah, he taught me how to break the rules
Hey, those days are long gone
And when I hear this song
We were on top of the world
Back when I was your girl
We were living so wild and free
That's the way it's supposed to be
Stealing beers out of the trailer park
Flicking lighters just to fight the dark
My favorite place was sitting in his car
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 them hot
Hey, those days are long gone
And when I hear this song
We were on top of the world
Back when I was your girl
We were living so wild and free
That's the way it's supposed to be
We were running red lights
Didn't care about anything
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (seventeen)
I remember what it felt like
Just a small town kind of life
If I could only just go back in time
We were on top of the world
Back when I was your girl
We were living so wild and free
That's the way it's supposed to be
We were running red lights
Didn't care about anything
