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 Every night, I watch a 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 daddy is my boss man So I just have to be content To see him 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 him He loves me But I don't fit his society Lord have mercy on a girl from down in the boondocks One fine day, I'll find a way To move from this old shack Hold my head up like a queen And I'll never, never will look back Until that day I'll work and slave To save up every dime Tonight he'll have to slip 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 him He loves me But I don't fit his society Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks Woahah, aw |
