Katies sitting on the old front porch
Watching the chickens peck the ground
There aint a whole lot going on tonight
In this one horse town.
Over yonder, coming up the road
In a beat-up chevy truck
Her boyfriend tommy, hes laying on the horn
Splashing through the mud and the muck
Her daddy says, "he aint worth a lick
When it came to brains, he got the short end of the stick"
But katies young and man she just dont care
Shed follow tommy anywhere
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
Shes gonna marry that boy someday
Katie and tommy at the drive-in movie
Parked in the very last row
Theyre too busy holding on to one another
To even care about the show
But later on outside the tastee freeze,
Tommy slips something on her hand
He says, "my high school ring will have to do
Till I can buy a wedding band"
Her daddy says, "he aint worth a lick
When it came to brains, he got the short end of the stick"
But katies young and man she just dont care
Shed follow tommy anywhere
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
Shes gonna marry that boy someday
Her daddys waiting up till half past twelve
When they come sneaking up the walk
He says, "young lady get on up to your room
While me and junior have a talk"
But mama breaks in and says, "dont lose your temper
It wasnt very long ago
When you yourself was just a hay-seed plowboy
Who didnt have a row to hoe"
"my daddy said you wasnt worth a lick
When it came to brains, you had 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"
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Whats meant to be will always find a way
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Whats meant to be will always find a way
Shes gonna marry that boy someday.
Shes in love with the boy....
