She's in Love with the Boy

Katie's sittin' on her old front porch
Watchin' the chickens peck the ground
There ain't a whole lot goin' on tonight
In this one-horse town

Over yonder comin' up the road
In a beat-up Chevy truck
Her boyfriend Tommy, he's layin' on the horn
Splashin' through the mud and the muck

Her daddy say's 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 Tasty Freeze
Tommy slips somethin' on her hand
He says my high school ring will have to do
'Til I can buy a wedding band

Her daddy say's 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 12
When they come sneakin' up the walk
He says, "Young lady, get on up to your room
While me and Junior have a talk"

Mama breaks in, says, "Don't lose your temper
It wasn't very long ago
You yourself was just a hay-seed plowboy
Who didn't have a row to how"

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
What's meant to be will always find a way
She's gonna marry that boy someday

She's in love with the boy
