The Duhks - Dance Hall Girls/Bozeemon Boogie lyrics

These dance hall girls, they don't treat you kind

They give you their bodies, but you never reach their minds

Well, they fill you up with lipstick lies

When they put you down some, don't ya be surprised

Is this the way it always is, here in Baltimore?

Well, I saw her mountains, and I kissed her plains

I held her sunshine, and I drank her rains

Well, I went so far, that I broke too fast

Thought I had me a winner picked, but I came in last again

Is this the way it always is, here in Baltimore?

(Chorus)

I must have chosen the wrong season to come down

I never realized they called this sacred ground

My sense of time, hell, I'm a week behind

I sent me a letter home but this all takes time

Gonna get some cash, gonna go back home

These dance hall girls really know how to make a man feel alone

Is this the way it always is, here in Baltimore?

(Chorus)

My sense of time, hell, I'm a week behind

I sent me a letter home but this all takes time

Gonna get some cash, gonna blow this town

These dance hall girls really know how to drag a poor boy down

Is this the way it always is, here in Baltimore?

Is this the way it always is, here in Baltimore?
