Down in the boondocks down in the boondocks
|
People lookin' down cause that's the side of town I was born in
|
I love him he loves me but I don't fit in his society
|
Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks
|
|
Every night I watch the lights from the house up on the hill
|
I love a boy who lives up there and I guess I always will
|
But I don't dare go near his door cause jis folks won't let me in
|
So I have to try to be content just to see him wherever I can
|
Down in the boondocks...
|
|
One find day I'll find a way to move from this old shack
|
I'll hold my head up like a queen and I never never will look back
|
Until that day I'll save my love for a boy I'll soon call mine
|
But tonight he'll have to steal away to see me one more time
|
Down in the boondocks...
|
Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks
