[Chorus]
Down in the boondocks (x2)
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 in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks

Ev'ry night I watch the lights from the house up on 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 just have to be content
To see her when ever I can

[Chorus]

Down in the boondocks (x2)

One fine day I'll find the way to move from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a king and I never never will look back
Until that morning I'll work and slave
And I'll save ev'ry dime
But tonight she'll have to steal away
To see me one more time

[Chorus]
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
