KENNY LOGGINS - Down in The Boondocks lyrics

rate me

Ev'ry night I watch the lights from the house upon the hill

I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always will

But I don't dare knock upon her door'cause her daddy is my boss man

So I got to try to be contentto see her whenever I cangoin'

Chorus:

Down in the boondocksdown in the boondocks

People put me down'cause that's the side of town I was born in

I love hershe loves mebut I don't fit in her society

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks

But I need moneyhoneygive me moneyhoney

Moneyhoney(I need enough) moneyhoney

I'll take it to the bankI'll take it all downjust say it to meoh man

Chorus

One fine day I'll find a way to move from this old shack

I'll hold my head up like a king and I never will look back

Until that day I'll work and slaveand I'll save every dime

But tonight she'll have to steal away to see me one more timegoin'

Chorus repeats 2x

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks

Mama have mercy on a boy from down in the - ooh

Have mercy babya little mercyhang around all daytake me

Down in the boondocksda-da-down in the boondocks (repeats out)
