Lynn Anderson "Down in the Boondocks" |
(Joe South) 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, 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. 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, 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. Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
