Ry Cooder - Down In The Boondocks Lyrics
(joe south)Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocksPeople put me down cause thats the side of town I was born inI love her and she loves meBut I dont fit in her societyLord have mercy, Im a boy from down in the boondocksNow, every night I watch the lights from the house upon the hillWell, I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always willBut I dont dare knock on her doorcause her daddy is my boss manSo Ill just have to be content and see her whenever I canTake a trip on down in the boondocks,Take a ride on down in the boondocksPeople put me down cause thats the side of town I was born inSee, I love her and she loves meBut I dont fit her societyLord have mercy, Im a boy from down in the boondocksOne fine day Ill find a way and move from this old shackWell, Ill hold my head up like a king and Ill never, never will look backtil that morning Ill work and slaveAnd Ill save every dimeBut tonight shell have to steal awayTo see me one more timeGet together, darling, down in the boondocksMaking love, darling, down in the boondocksPeople put me down cause thats the side of town I was born inI love her and she loves meBut I dont fit her societyLord have mercy, Im a boy from down in the boondocksLord have mercy, Im a boy from down in the boondocks
