Katie’s sitting on the old front porch
\nWatching the chickens peck the ground
\nThere ain’t a whole lot going on tonight
\nIn this one horse town
\nOver yonder, coming up the road
\nIn a beat-up Chevy truck
\nHer boyfriend Tommy, he’s laying on the horn
\nSplashing through the mud and the muck<\/p>\n
Her daddy says
\n“He ain’t worth a lick
\nWhen it came to brains
\nHe got the short end of the stick”
\nBut Katie’s young and man she just don’t care
\nShe’d follow Tommy anywhere<\/p>\n
She’s in love with the boy (x3)
\nAnd even if they have to run away
\nShe’s gonna marry that boy someday<\/p>\n
Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie
\nParked in the very last row
\nThey’re too busy holding on to one another
\nTo even care about the show
\nBut later on outside the Tastee Freeze
\nTommy slips something on her hand
\nHe says, “My high school ring will have to do
\nTil I can buy a wedding band”<\/p>\n
Her daddy says
\n“He ain’t worth a lick
\nWhen it came to brains
\nHe got the short end of the stick”
\nBut Katie’s young and man she just don’t care
\nShe’d follow Tommy anywhere<\/p>\n
She’s in love with the boy (x3)
\nAnd even if they have to run away
\nShe’s gonna marry that boy someday<\/p>\n
Her daddy’s waiting up till half past twelve
\nWhen they come sneaking up the walk
\nHe says, “young lady get on up to your room
\nWhile me and junior have a talk”
\nBut Mama breaks in and says, “don’t lose your temper
\nIt wasn’t very long ago
\nWhen you yourself was just a hay-seed plowboy
\nWho didn’t have a row to hoe<\/p>\n
My daddy said you wasn’t worth a lick
\nWhen it came to brains
\nYou had the short end of the stick
\nBut he was wrong and honey you are too
\nKatie looks at Tommy like I still look at you”<\/p>\n
She’s in love with the boy (x3)
\nWhat’s meant to be will always find a way
\nShe’s in love with the boy (x3)<\/p>\n
What’s meant to be will always find a way
\nShe’s gonna marry that boy someday
\nShe’s in love with the boy\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
