Intro
Chorus
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, I guess I always will.
But I don't dare knock on her door..her daddy is my boss man.
So I'll just have to be content, to see her when ever I can.
Chorus
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.
(INTERLUDE:)
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.
Chorus
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.
Outro
