Lyric

Katie’s sittin’ on her old front porchWatchin’ the chickens peck the groundThere ain’t a whole lot goin’ on tonightIn this one horse townOver yonder comin’ up the roadIn a beat up Chevy truckHer boyfriend Tommy is laying on the hornSplashing 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 careShe’d follow Tommy anywhereShe’s in love with the boyShe’s in love with the boyShe’s in love with the boyAnd even if they have to run awayShe’s gonna marry that boy someday
Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movieParked in the very last rowThey’re to busy holding on to one anotherTo even care about the showLater on outside the Tasty FreezeTommy slips something on her handHe 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 lickWhen it comes to brainsHe got the short end of the stick”But Katie’s young and man she just don’t careShe’d follow Tommy anywhereShe’s in love with the boyShe’s in love with the boyShe’s in love with the boyAnd even if they have to run awayShe’s gonna marry that boy someday
Her Daddy’s waitin’ up ’til half past twelveWhen they come sneakin’ up the walkHe says, “young lady get on up to your roomWhile me and junior have a talk”Momma breaks in says, “don’t lose your temperIt wasn’t very long agoWhen you yourself was just a hay seed plow boyWho didn’t have a row to hoe”
“My daddy said, ‘you wasn’t worth a lickWhen it came to brains you got the short end of the stick’But he was wrong and honey, you are tooKatie looks at Tommy like I still look at you”She’s in love with the boyShe’s in love with the boyShe’s in love with the boyWhat’s meant to be will always find a wayShe’s in love with the boyShe’s in love with the boyShe’s in love with the boyWhat’s meant to be will always find a wayShe’s gonna marry that boy someday
She’s in love with the boy
