Story Behind The Song
I have parented my own seventeen-year old daughter, and two foreign exchange students that were juniors in high school. I also used my own memories of high school dating to write this song. I really love that members of the St. Albans, VT High School Chorus sing the backing vocals after the breakdown toward the end of the song. It's a fun, danceable song!!

Lyrics
Chorus:
She's so seventeen
Just months away from wild and free
Got a song in her heart and a twinkle in her eye
They think she's unapproachable, but she don't know she's beautiful
Boys, you'd better listen when I say,
You don't need a written invitation to get by this hesitation
Don't you let your sweetheart get away!
