Intro:
(4 measures)
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 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, and I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door, 'cause her daddy is my boss man
So I'll just have to be content to see her 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
