When I Was Seventeen
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
