Verse 1

She comes from Boston

Works at the jewelry store

Down in the harbor

Where the ferries come to shore

 She never really knew how good it would feel

 To finally find herself in a place so warm and real

Chorus

 She wears a Red Sox cap

 To hide her baby dreads

 The girl she was in New England

 Is different now and dead

 In all the local bars

 She flirts and tells the boys while they're talkin'

She's from Boston

Verse 2

She comes from Boston

Talks to her family now and then

Through e-mails and postcards

She tries to explain to them

 That education and occupation will have to wait for now

 She loves the Rasta, reggae rhythms, her dreams have changed somehow

Chorus

Bridge

 Her toes dig deep and deeper in the sand

 She's seduced by the sunsets and her new life at hand

Chorus

 She wears a Red Sox cap

 To hide her baby dreads

 From Boston

 She came to this island from Boston
