Liz Anderson - Down In The Boondocks lyrics

rate me

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 in his society

Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks

Every night I watch the lights from the house up on the hill

I love a boy who lives up there and I know I always will

But I don't dare go near his door cause his folks won't let me in

So I have to try to be content just to see him whenever I can

Down in the boondocks...

[ rh.guitar ]

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

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

Until that day I'll save my love for the boy I'll soon call mine

But tonight he'll have to steal away to see me one more time

Down in the boondocks...

Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks

Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks
