Down In The Boondocks lyrics

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



Well every night I watch the lights from the house up on the hill

I love a girl who lives up there and I guess I always will

I don`t dare knock on her door her daddy is my boss man

I wait to try to be content just to see her wherever I can



Down in the boondocks...

[ guitar - steel ]

One find day I`ll find a way to move from this old shack

Hold my head up like a king and never never never go back

Until that day 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...

Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks

Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
