Down in the Boondocks

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
 Every night I watch the lights
 From the house up on the hill
 I love a little 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'll just have to be content
 To see her whenever I can

 But I don't fit in her society

 Down in the boondocks
 One fine day I'll find the 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
