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
