Down In The Boondocks — текст песни (Kenny Vernon)

Down in the boondocks down in the boondocks
People lookin` down cause that`s the side of town I was born in
I love him he loves me but I don`t fit in his society
Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks

Every night I watch the lights from the house up on the hill
I love a boy who lives up there and I guess I always will
But I don`t dare go near his door cause jis folks won`t let me in
So I have to try to be content just to see him wherever I can
Down in the boondocks...

One find day I`ll find a way to move from this old shack
I`ll hold my head up like a queen and I never never will look back
Until that day I`ll save my love for a boy I`ll soon call mine
But tonight he`ll have to steal away to see me one more time
Down in the boondocks...
Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks
