Katie And Tommy Lyrics

Katie And Tommy lyrics

Katie sits on her old front porch, 

watching the chickens peck the ground

There ain't a whole lot goin on tonight

in this one horse town

Over yonder comin up the road, 

in a beat up Chevy truck,

her boyfriend Ttommy is layin on the horn,

splashin through the mud and the muck



Her daddy says he ain't worth the lip

when it comes to brains he's got the short end of the stick

But Katie's young and she don't give a care, 

she'd follow Tommy anywhere



She's in love with the boy

She's in love with the boy

She's in love with the boy

And even if they had to run away, 

she's gonna marry that boy someday



Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie,

parked in the very last row.

They're too busy holding on to one another

to even care about the show

Later on outside the Tasty freeze

tommy slips something on her hand

He says my high school ring will have to do

'till I can buy a wedding band



Her daddy says he ain't worth the lip

when it comes to brains he's got the short end of the stick

But Katie's young and she don't give a care, 

She'd follow Tommy anywhere



She's in love with the boy

She's in love with the boy

She's in love with the boy

And even if they had to run away, 

she's gonna marry that boy someday.



Her daddy's waiting up at half past twelve

when they come sneaking up the walk.

He says young lady get on up to your room

while me and junior have a talk.

Momma breaks in and says don't lose your temper

wasn't very long ago

you yourself was just a hasty plowboy

Didn't have a load of hope



My daddy's said you wasn't worth a lick

when it comes to brains you got hte short end of the stick

But he was wrong and hunny you are too

Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you



She's in love with the boy

She's in love with the boy

She's in love with the boy

What's meant to be will always find a way



She's in love with the boy

She's in love with the boy

She's in love with the boy

What's meant to be will always find a way

she's gonna marry that boy someday.
