She's In Love With The Boy

Katie's sittin' on her ol' front porch,
Watchin' the chickens peck the ground,
There ain't a whole lot goin' on tonight,
In this one horse town,
Over yonder and comin' up the road,
In a beat up Chevy truck,
Her boyfriend Tommy's layin' on the horn,
Splashin' through the mud an' muck.

Her daddy says 'He ain't worth a lick,
When it comes 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 holdin' on to one another,
To even care about the show,
Later on outside the Tastee Freeze,
Tommy slips somethin' on her hand,
He says 'My high school ring will have to do,
'Till I can buy a weddin' band.'

Her daddy says 'He ain't worth a lick,
When it comes 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 waitin' up 'til half past twelve,
When they come sneakin' up the walk,
He says 'Young lady get on up to your room,
While me and junior have a talk.'
Momma breaks in and says 'Don't lose your temper,
It wasn't very long ago,
When you yourself was just a hayseed plowboy,
Who didn't have a road to hoe,

My daddy said you wasn't worth a lick,
When it came to brains you got 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,
And even if they have to run away,
She's gonna marry that boy someday.
