Blacktop Boy Lyrics by O’Connor Band & Mark O’Connor

Coming Home

2016

[Verse 1]
Dress to kill with a black shirt on and a cool guitar
Like Johnny Cash had crashed to earth from a falling star
He came on strong singing his songs and fooling around
I can’t recall [?] out of town

[Chorus]
He was a blacktop boy tearin’ through the heart of a dirt broad girl
Kickin’ up dust and breaking a pot not dirt broad world
The summer air grows cold at night you could feel the fading joy
Of a dirt broad girl who fallin' for a black top boy

[Verse 2]
Mama warned me of hot shot city boys like him
They are shattered and broken glass on tender skin
Those penticose will hide a rugged soul from you
Clever words and pretty tunes cover up the truth

[Chorus]
He was a blacktop boy tearin’ through the heart of a dirt broad girl
Kickin’ up dust and breaking a pot not dirt broad world
The summer air grows cold at night you could feel the fading joy
Of a dirt broad girl who fallin' for a black top boy

[Verse 3]
I guess sometimes shiny things just catch my eye
And he was like a full moon in a black field sky
Before I could even catch him he packed his things to go
I don’t think he meant to hurt me would I’ll never know

[Chorus]
He was a blacktop boy tearin’ through the heart of a dirt broad girl
Kickin’ up dust and breaking a pot not dirt broad world
The summer air grows cold at night you could feel the fading joy
Of a dirt broad girl who fallin' for a black top boy
