When I Was Seventeen Lyrics - Singles - David Meece

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, 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, I didn't know why 

Feeling so alone 

How I wish back then I'd known 

When I was seventeen 

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 

And 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 

When I was seventeen 

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 

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 

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 

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 

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 

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
