Lyrics
words to study
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 her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
Every night I will watch the light from the house upon the hill
I love a little girl that lives up there, I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door
Her daddy is my boss man
So I'll just have to be content
To see her whenever I can
