She's in Love with the Boy
Songbook


Katie's sittin on her old front porch 
Watchin' the chickens peck the ground 
There ain't a whole lot going on tonight 
In this one horse town 
Over yonder comin' up the road 
In a beat up Chevy truck 
Her boyfriend Tommy is laying on the horn 
Splashing 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 care 
She'd follow Tommy anywhere 
She's in love with the boy 
She's in love with the boy 
She's in love with the boy 
And even if they have to run away 
She's gonna marry that boy someday 

Katie and Tommy at the drive in movie 
Parked in the very last row 
They're to busy holding on to one another 
To even care about the show 
Later on outside the Tasty Freeze 
Tommy slips something on her hand 
He 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 lick 
When it comes to brains 
He got the short end of the stick 
But Katie's young and man she just don't care 
She'd follow Tommy anywhere 
She's in love with the boy 
She's in love with the boy 
She's in love with the boy 
And even if they have to run away 
She's gonna marry that boy someday 

Her Daddy's waitin up til half past twelve 
When they come sneakin' up the walk 
He says young lady get on up to your room 
While me and junior have a talk 
Momma breaks in says don't lose your temper 
It wasn't very long ago 
You yourself was just a hay seed plow boy 
Who didn't have a row to how 

My daddy said you wasn't worth a lick 
When it came to brains you got the short of the stick 
But he was wrong and honey you are to 
Katie looks at Tommy like I still at you 
She's in love with the boy 
She's in love with the boy 
She's in love with the boy 
What's meant to be will always find a way 
She's gonna marry that boy someday
