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 light from the house up on the hill
I love a 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 whenever I can
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 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
