Down In The Boondocks Lyrics

Down In The Boondocks lyrics

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
