[00:06.31]Song: Down In The Boondocks
[00:13.00]
[00:13.17]Down in the boondocks
[00:16.59]Down in the boondocks
[00:19.63]People put me down 'cause
[00:21.01]That's the side of town I was born in
[00:25.53]I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
[00:30.96]Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
[00:35.57]
[00:36.53]Ev'ry night I watch the lights from the house up on the hill
[00:42.51]I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always will
[00:48.20]But I don't dare knock on her door
[00:51.24]'Cause her daddy is my boss man
[00:54.00]So I have to try to be content
[00:57.04]Just to see her when ever I can
[01:00.36]Down in the boondocks
[01:03.04]Down in the boondocks
[01:05.89]People put me down 'cause
[01:08.08]That's the side of town I was born in
[01:11.57]I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
[01:17.35]Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
[01:24.59]
[01:29.25]Down in the boondocks
[01:32.07]Down in the boondocks
[01:34.72]
[01:34.96]One fine day I'll find the way to move from this old shack
[01:40.64]I'll hold my head up like a king and I never never will look back
[01:46.22]Until that morning I'll work and slave
[01:49.44]And I'll save ev'ry dime
[01:51.86]But tonight she'll have to steal away
[01:55.01]To see me one more time
[01:58.07]
[01:58.24]Down in the boondocks
[02:00.88]Down in the boondocks
[02:03.57]People put me down 'cause
[02:05.30]That's the side of town I was born in
[02:09.27]I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
[02:15.04]Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
[02:20.87]Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
[02:26.70]Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
