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.
Every night I watch the light
from the house upon 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 bossman.
So I just have to be content
to see her when ever 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 this morning I'll work and slave
and I'll save every dime,
but tonight she has to steal away
to see me one more time...
Down in the boondocks...
