| Katie's sitting on the old front porch
|
| Watching the chickens peck the ground
|
| There ain't a whole lot going on tonight
|
| In this one horse town.
|
| Over yonder, coming up the road
|
| In a beat-up Chevy truck
|
| Her boyfriend Tommy, he's laying on the horn
|
| Splashing through the mud and the muck
|
| Her daddy says, "he ain't worth a lick
|
| When it came 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 anywhere
|
| She'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 someday
|
| Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie
|
| Parked in the very last row
|
| They're too busy holding on to one another
|
| To even care about the show
|
| But later on outside the Tastee Freeze,
|
| Tommy slips something on her hand
|
| He says, "my high school ring will have to do
|
| Till I can buy a wedding band"
|
| Her daddy says, "he ain't worth a lick
|
| When it came 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 anywhere
|
| She'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 someday
|
| Her daddy's waiting up till half past twelve
|
| When they come sneaking up the walk
|
| He says, "young lady get on up to your room
|
| While me and junior have a talk"
|
| But Mama breaks in and says, "don't lose your temper
|
| It wasn't very long ago
|
| When you yourself was just a hay-seed plowboy
|
| Who didn't have a row to hoe"
|
| "My daddy said you wasn't worth a lick
|
| When it came to brains, you had the short end of the stick
|
| But he was wrong and honey you are too
|
| Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you"
|
| She'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 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 someday.
|
| She's in love with the boy.... |
