Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down `cause
That`s the side of town I was born in
I love her
She loves me
But I don`t fit in her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
Ev`ry night I watch the light
From the house upon the hill
I love a little girl who lives up there
And I guess I always will
But I don`t dare knock on her door `cause
Her daddy is my boss man
So I`ll just have to be content
To see her whenever I can
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down `cause
That`s the side of town I was born in
I love her
She loves me
But I don`t fit in her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
One fine day I`ll find a way
To move from this old shack
I`ll hold my head up like a king
And I never never will look back
Until that morning I`ll work and slave
And I`ll save every dime
But tonight she`ll have to steal away
To see me one more time
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down `cause
That`s the side of town I was born in
I love her
She loves me
But I don`t fit in her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
