She's in Love with the Boy Lyrics

Katie's sittin' on the old front porch
Watchin' the chickens peck the ground
There ain't a whole lot goin' on tonight
In this one-horse townOver yonder comin' up the road
In a beat-up Chevy truck
Her boyfriend Tommy, he's layin' on the horn
Splashin' through the mud and the muckHer daddy says he ain't worth a lick
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick
But Katie's young and man, she just don't care
She'd follow Tommy anywhereShe's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy somedayKatie and Tommy at the drive-in movie
Parked in the very last row
They're too busy holdin' on to one another
To even care about the showLater on outside the Tastee Freeze
Tommy slips something on her hand

He says my high school ring will have to do
'Til I can buy a wedding bandHer daddy says he ain't worth a lick
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick
But Katie's young and man, she just don't care
She'd follow Tommy anywhereShe's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy somedayHer daddy's waitin' up 'til half past twelve
When they come sneakin' up the walk
He says, "Young lady get on up to your room
While me and Junior have a talk"Mama breaks in, says, "Don't lose your temper
It wasn't very long ago
When you yourself was just a hay-seed plow boy
Who didn't have a row to hoe"My daddy said, "You wasn't worth a lick
When it came to brains, you got the short end of the stick"
But he was wrong and honey you are too
Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at youShe's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
What's meant to be will always find a wayShe's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
What's meant to be will always find a way
She's gonna marry that boy somedayShe's in love with the boy
