[00:00.00]Down In The Boondocks - Billy Joe Royal
[00:12.83]Down in the boondocks
[00:14.51]
[00:15.72]Down in the boondocks
[00:17.26]
[00:18.52]People put me down 'cause that's
[00:20.40]The side of town I was born in
[00:22.41]
[00:24.00]I love her and she loves me
[00:27.19]But I don't fit in her society
[00:30.00]Lord have mercy
[00:30.89]I'm a boy from down in the boondocks
[00:33.84]
[00:35.89]Now every night I watch the lights
[00:38.44]From the house upon the hill
[00:40.77]
[00:41.62]Well I love a little girl
[00:43.12]Who lives up there and I guess I always will
[00:46.78]
[00:47.45]But I don't dare knock on her door
[00:50.20]'Cause her daddy is my boss man
[00:53.37]So I'll just have to be content
[00:56.12]And see her whenever I can
[00:59.25]Down in the boondocks
[01:00.69]
[01:02.09]Down in the boondocks
[01:03.49]
[01:04.84]People put me down 'cause
[01:06.44]That's the side of town I was born in
[01:08.88]
[01:10.74]I love her and she loves me
[01:13.46]But I don't fit her society
[01:16.30]Lord have mercy
[01:17.69]I'm a boy from down in the boondocks
[01:20.00]
[01:28.29]Down in the boondocks down in the boondocks
[01:32.12]
[01:33.73]One fine day I'll find a way
[01:36.63]And move from this old shack
[01:38.72]
[01:39.37]Well I'll hold my head up like a king
[01:42.13]And I'll never never will look back
[01:44.21]
[01:45.19]'Til that morning I'll work and slave
[01:48.16]And I'll save every dime
[01:50.91]But tonight she'll have to steal away
[01:53.68]To see me one more time
[01:56.87]Down in the boondocks
[01:58.15]
[01:59.87]Down in the boondocks
[02:01.07]
[02:02.59]People put me down 'cause
[02:04.24]That's the side of town I was born in
[02:06.50]
[02:08.49]I love her and she loves me
[02:11.25]But I don't fit her society
[02:14.05]Lord have mercy
[02:15.39]I'm a boy from down in the boondocks
[02:17.70]
[02:19.81]Lord have mercy
