HOLLIES - Delaware Taggett And The Outlaw Boys lyrics

rate me

(Jennings)

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
