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 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



Down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks



One fine day I`ll find a 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 a boy from down in the boondocks

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
