Down in the Boondocks Lyrics by Lynn Anderson

I’m Alright

0

[Chorus]
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 him, he loves me, but I don't fit his society
Lord, have mercy on a girl from down in the boondocks
[Verse 1]
Ev'ry night I watch the light from the house up on the hill
I love a little boy who lives up there, and I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on his door 'cause his folks won't let me in
So, I'll just have to be content to see him whenever I can
[Chorus]
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 him, he loves me, but I don't fit his society
Lord, have mercy on a girl from down in the boondocks
[Verse 2]
One fine day I'll find a way to move from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a queen, and I never ever will look back
But 'til that mornin' when we can walk together hand-in-hand
Well, I'll just have to be content to see him whenever I can
[Chorus]
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 him, he loves me, but I don't fit his society
Lord, have mercy on a girl from down in the boondocks
Lord, have mercy on a girl from down in the boondocks
