When I Was Seventeen

[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
