Just Seventeen

(album: Paul Revere & The Raiders Featuring Mark Lindsay's Arizona - 1976)

Early in the morning, up in Missoula
It was just about a quarter to four
Laying on my bed, tripping in my head
There came a knock on my door

Before my eyes there was an angel
And I said, won't you come inside?
She said, I'm just seventeen, but she looked fine
Just seventeen, come on inside

Help me, help me, help me, oh my
Help me, help me baby, help me baby, oh my

Later in the morning, up in Missoula
Morning sunshine coming through on my floor
I was feeling weak, about to fall asleep
There came a knock on my door

Before my eyes was a policeman
And he said, we got to take a ride
Cause she was just seventeen, but she looked fine
Just seventeen, and that's a crime

Help me, you gotta help me, you gotta help me, oh my!
Help me baby, help me baby, help me baby, oh my!
