Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down
Cause thats the side of town I was born in
I love her, She loves me
But I dont fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
verse 1
Every night I watch the lights
from the house upon the hill
I love a girl that 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
Chorus
One fine day I'll find away
To move from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a king
and 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
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
