Down In The Boondocks Lyrics

Down In The Boondocks 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 the boy from down in the boondocks



Ev'ry night I watch the lights from the house up on 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 have to try to be content

Just 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 the boy from down in the boondocks



Down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks



One fine day I'll find the 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 morning I'll work and slave

And I'll save ev'ry 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 the boy from down in the boondocks

Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks

Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
