Down In The Boondocks

In the style of

Billy Joe Royal

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

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 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

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 mornin'
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
