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 him he loves me but I don't fit in his society

Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks

Every 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

Down in the boondocks...

One find 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 till that morning when we can walk together hand in hand

But I'll just have to be content to see him wherever I can

Down in the boondocks...

Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks
