Under a yellow moon, over the orange grove Some white boys played a game Back when the Sunshine State was still segregated And the 'Good Ol' Boys' wanted it to stay that way But the Vietnam War, and Brown vs. the Board of Education Changed everything Yet on that night some white boys Played a strange and dangerous game And the young girls sat on the hoods of their cars And they watched them race on by In big Chevy's and Fords and they were drinking Schlitz by the quart And they were bored out of their minds If mommies and daddies knew what their children do In the light of a yellow moon They'd lock them away 'til their dying day In their safe, familiar rooms It was back in the time when those young girls would simply disappear Somewhere in their junior or senior year And they'd come back different, and they'd come back changed In another strange and dangerous game Because 'good girls' didn't get pregnant then Without a ring on their finger and a man's last name And all the good people would close their eyes And they'd all agree on the same damned lie Saying 'she just went to live with her Uncle J |
