Early in the mornin', up in Missoula Was just about a quarter to four Layin' on my bed, treatment in my head There'd come 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" Way up in the mornin', up in Missoula Wanna search for true on the floor I was feelin' weak, 'bout to fall asleep There'd come a knock on my door Before my eyes there stood that angel She said "Why don't you be mine? " " 'Cause you're just seventeen" but she looks fine "Just seventeen and that's a crime"
