|
Katie's sitting on the old front porch |
|
Watching the chickens peck the ground |
|
There ain't a whole lot going on tonight |
|
In this one horse town. |
|
Over yonder, coming up the road |
|
In a beat-up Chevy truck |
|
Her boyfriend Tommy, he's laying on the horn |
|
Splashing through the mud and the muck |
|
Her daddy says, \"he ain't worth a lick |
|
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick\" |
|
But Katie's young and man she just don't care |
|
She'd follow Tommy anywhere |
|
She's in love with the boy |
|
She's in love with the boy |
|
She's in love with the boy |
|
And even if they have to run away |
|
She's gonna marry that boy someday |
|
Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie |
|
Parked in the very last row |
|
They're too busy holding on to one another |
|
To even care about the show |
|
But later on outside the Tastee Freeze, |
|
Tommy slips something on her hand |
|
He says, \"my high school ring will have to do |
|
Till I can buy a wedding band\" |
|
Her daddy says, \"he ain't worth a lick |
|
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick\" |
|
But Katie's young and man she just don't care |
|
She'd follow Tommy anywhere |
|
She's in love with the boy |
|
She's in love with the boy |
|
She's in love with the boy |
|
And even if they have to run away |
|
She's gonna marry that boy someday |
|
Her daddy's waiting up till half past twelve |
|
When they come sneaking up the walk |
|
He says, \"young lady get on up to your room |
|
While me and junior have a talk\" |
|
But Mama breaks in and says, \"don't lose your temper |
|
It wasn't very long ago |
|
When you yourself was just a hay-seed plowboy |
|
Who didn't have a row to hoe\" |
|
\"My daddy said you wasn't worth a lick |
|
When it came to brains, you got the short end of the stick |
|
But he was wrong and honey you are too |
|
Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you\" |
|
She's in love with the boy |
|
She's in love with the boy |
|
She's in love with the boy |
|
What's meant to be will always find a way |
|
She's in love with the boy |
|
She's in love with the boy |
|
She's in love with the boy |
|
What's meant to be will always find a way |
|
She's gonna marry that boy someday. |
|
She's in love with the boy... |
