Down in the Boondocks Lyrics

Cown 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

Every night I watch the light
From the house up on the hill
I love a little girl that 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'll just have to be content
To see her whenever I can

Cown 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

Cown in the boondocks

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 every dime
But tonight she'll have to steal away
To see me one more time

Cown 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
