Ev'ry night I watch the lights from the house upon the hill
But I don't dare knock upon her door, 'cause her daddy is my boss man
I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always will
So I got to try to be content, to see her whenever I can, goin' People put me down, 'cause that's the side of town I was born in
Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks
I love her, she loves me, but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks But I need money, honey, give me money, honey
Money, honey, (I need enough) money, honey
I'll take it to the bank, I'll take it all down, just say it to me, oh man One fine day I'll find a way to move from this old shack I'll hold my head up like a king and I never will look back
But tonight she'll have to steal away to see me one more time, goin'
Until that day I'll work and slave, and I'll save every dime chorus repeats 2x Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
Mama have mercy on a boy from down in the Have mercy baby, a little mercy, hang around all day, take me --------------------------------------------------------------------------Down in the boondocks, da-da-down in the boondocks (repeats out).
