Lyrics

I grew up in a east end house
My neighbor was Amanda Leslie Jones
After school she would stay with me
So I wouldn't have to be left alone

Amanda, Amanda
Won't you take me with you
When you go?

13 kids are really mean
I guess I had a target on my back
Amanda taught me turn the other cheek
And together we can weather all attacks

Amanda Jones by the garden hose
Broken heart and broken home
No matter how you sing the song
We were looking. We were looking
For a place to belong

Leslie Jones moved away for university
I still remember the day she left me
Sidewalk statues made of stone
Wondered how long they can stand alone?
