KATIE'S SITTIN' ON HER OLD FRONT PORCH
WATCHIN' 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 BOYFRIND TOMMY'S LAYIN' ON THE HORN
SPLASHIN' THROUGH THE MUD AND THE MUCK
(CHORUS 1) HER DADDY SAID HE AIN'T WORTH A LICK
WHEN IT COMES TO BRAINS HE GOT THE SHORT
END OF THE STICK
BUT KATIE'S YOUNG AND MAN SHE JUST DON'T CARE
SHE'LL FOLLOW TOMMY ANYWHERE
SHE'S IN LOVE WITH THE BOY
(3X)
AND EVEN IF THEY HAVE 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 HOLDIN' TO ONE ANOTHER
TO EVEN CARE ABOUT THE SHOW
LATER ON OUTSIDE THE TASTEE FREEZE
TOMMY SLIPS SOMETHING ON HER HAND
HE SAYS MY HIGH SCHOOL RING WILL HAVE TO DO
TILL I CAN BUY A WEDDING BAND
(REPEAT CHORUS 1)
HER DADDY'S WAITIN' UP TILL HALF PAST TWELVE
WHEN THEY COME SNEAKIN' UP THE WALK
HE SAYS "YOUNG LADY GET ON UP TO YOUR ROOM
WHILE ME AND JUNIOR HAVE A TALK"
MAMA BREAKS IN SAYS DON'T LOSE YOUR TEMPER
IT WASN'T VERY LONG AGO
WHEN YOU YOURSELF WAS JUST A HAYSEED PLOWBOY
WHO DIDN'T HAVE A ROW TO HOE
(CHORUS 2) MY DADDY SAID YOU WASN'T WORTH A LICK
WHEN IT CAME TO BRAINS YOU GOT THE SHORT
END OF THE STICK
BUT HE WAS WRONG AND HONEY YOU ARE TOO
KATIE LOOKS AT TOMMY LIKE I STILL LOOK AT YOU
SHE'S IN LOVE WITH THE BOY
(3X)
WHAT'S MEANT TO BE WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY
SHE'S IN LOVE WITH THE BOY
(3X)
