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 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.
Ev'rynight I watch the lights 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.
(Repest chorus)
One fine day I'll find a way to move from this old shack I'll hold my head
up like a king Andʮever, 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. (Repeat chorous)
