Lynn Anderson - Down In The Boondocks lyrics

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 light from the house up on the hill I love a little boy who lives up there and I guess I always will But I don't dare knock on his door cause his folks won't let me in So I'll just have to be content to see him whenever I can Down in the boondocks... 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 ever will look back But till that morning when we can walk together hand in hand But I'll just have to be content to see him wherever I can Down in the boondocks... Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks
