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

Now, every night I watch the lights
from the house upon the hill
I love a little girl who 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
and 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, I'm a boy from 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, I'm a boy from down
in the boondocks
One fine day I'll find a way

and move from this old shack
Well, I'll hold my head up like a king
and I never, never will look back

'Til 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
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
