Down in the Boondocks Lyrics by U.S. Girls

GEM

2012

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 and she loves me, but I don't fit in her society
Lord, have mercy, I'm a boy from down in the boondocks
Every night, I watch the light from the house up on the hill
I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door 'cause her daddy is boss man
So I'll just have to be content to see her whenever I can
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 and she loves me, but I don't fit in her society
Lord, have mercy, I'm a boy from down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks, down 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 you'll have to steal away to see me one more time
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 and she loves me, but I don't fit in her society
Lord, have mercy, I'm a boy from down in the boondocks
Lord, have mercy, I'm a boy from down in the boondocks
Lord, have mercy, I'm a boy from down in the boondocks
