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 the boy from down in the boondocks |
|
Every night I watch the lights from the house up on 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 have to try to be content just 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 the boy from down in the boondocks |
|
Down in the boondocks |
|
Down in the boondocks |
|
One fine day, I'll find the 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 the boy from down in the boondocks |
|
Lord, have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks |
|
Lord, have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks |
