When I Was Seventeen

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My daddy left home when I was a kid Said he had to move on He took the bottle as his only friend I didn't know why (Didn't know why) I didn't know why Mama tried to do the best that she could But she just didn't understand All the confusion I was feeling inside I didn't know why (Didn't know why) I didn't know why [Pre-Chorus] Feeling so alone How I wish back then I'd known When I was seventeen [Chorus] Na, na, na, na, na, na You were callin' Na, na, na, na, na, na While I was fallin' Na, na, na, na, na, na When I was seventeen, seventeen [Verse 2] From study hall to the senior prom I felt like no one at all I'm just a shadow in a crowded room I didn't know why (Didn't know why) I didn't know why [Pre-Chorus] Thought I was to blame While Your love screamed out my name When I was seventeen [Chorus] Na, na, na, na, na, na You were callin' Na, na, na, na, na, na While I was fallin' Na, na, na, na, na, na When I was seventeen [Bridge] Sure, I heard You died for me I heard about the Cross But oh, the pain was burning deep It took so long to hear Your voice [Chorus] Na, na, na, na, na, na You were callin' Na, na, na, na, na, na While I was fallin' Na, na, na, na, na, na When I was seventeen [Chorus] You were listening, oh Na, na, na, na, na, na You were callin' me Na, na, na, na, na, na While I was fallin' Na, na, na, na, na, na When I was seventeen [Chorus] Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na You were callin' me Na, na, na, na, na, na While I was fallin' Na, na, na, na, na, na When I was seventeen [Outro] I found a photo of my mom and dad A few tears later I could see How much You loved that lonely boy I was Seventeen Na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na When I was seventeen
