When I Was Seventeen Lyrics

My daddy left home when I was a kid

Said he had to move on

Took the bottle as his only friend

I 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

And I didn't know why - I didn't know why

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)

From study hall to the senior prom

I felt like no one at all

Just a shadow in a crowded room

I didn't know why - I didn't know why

Thought I was to blame

While Your Love screamed out my name

Repeat Chorus

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

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
