Lynn Anderson - Down in the Boondocks lyrics
[Lynn Anderson - Down in the Boondocks lyrics]
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 his society
Lord, have mercy on a girl
From down in the boondocks
Ev'ry 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 his society
Lord, have mercy on a girl
From down in the boondocks
One fine 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 'til that mornin' when we can
Walk together hand in hand
Well, 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 his society
Lord, have mercy on a girl
From down in the boondocks
Lord, have mercy on a girl
From down in the boondocks
