Ev'ry night I watch the lights from the house upon the hill
I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock upon her door 'cause her daddy is my boss man So I got to try to be content to see her whenever I can goin' 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 she loves me but I don't fit in her society Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
But I need money honey give me money honey
Money honey I need enough money honey
I'll take it to the bank I'll take it all down
Just say it to me oh man
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 I don't fit her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from 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 will look back
Until that day 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
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 I don't fit her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
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 I don't fit her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
