Young girls and porches are filling out
Tempers and torches are burning
Brown is the colour of town
living in thunder
Hair on my top lip now I`m a man
I so often hear and feel it
Nice paying the price for being kept under
Mama says don`t hang around that front gate too long
Boys like you who stay too late are surely gonna go so wrong
But Mama there`s safety in numbers
It`s the first time I`ve ever felt strong
Delaware Taggett and the Outlaw Boys
Adding a laugh to the Broadway noise
Slipping your mind where your mind don`t wanna go
Off-duty porters lay sleeping wives
On-duty daughters are finding
why just touching a boy gives a thrill like a shiver
Whispers and shadows are moving fast
No prizes given to people
last drowned in the past down on the river
chorus
