Dover Girl
J. P. Riemens (2005)

Lazy summer afternoon,
School is out and harvest starts real soon,
There's a farm by the lake, with a job for me,
There's a dancehall on the beach,
They've always got a real good band,
That's where I first saw her swaying in the sand,

She takes my breath away,
She makes my body shake,
She rocks my world,
My little Dover girl

The work ain't hard, when you're young and strong,
But, sometimes the day just take so long,
You just think about all that money, you're gonna make,
You break your back to get done early,
Then you race off to the promised land,
Where there's a girl and an ice cold beer for every man

She takes my breath away,
She makes my body shake,
She rocks my world,
My little Dover girl

Now, cigarettes don't grow in rows around here any more,
That dance hall is just ashes in the sand,
Nothing lasts forever, but I know one thing for sure,
I'll never meet a girl like her again

Lazy summer, twenty years gone,
I go out riding with my only one,
Down to the strip where we used to play

She takes my breath away,
She makes my body shake,
She rocks my world,
My little Dover girl

She takes my breath away,
She makes my body shake,
She rocks my world,
My little Dover girl

My little Dover girl
