Down In The Boondocks (Album Version)

Down In The Boondocks (Album Version) - Kenny Loggins

Written by：South Joe

Ev'ry night I watch the lights from the house upon the hill

I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always will

But I don't dare knock upon her door 'cause her daddy is my boss man

So I got to try to be content to see her whenever I can goin'

Down in the boondocks down in the boondocks

People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in

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

Down in the boondocks down in the boondocks

People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in

I love her and she loves me I don't fit her society

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks

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

Until that day I'll work and slave and I'll save every dime

But tonight she'll have to steal away to see me one more time

Down in the boondocks down in the boondocks

People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in

I love her and she loves me I don't fit her society

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks down in the boondocks

People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in

I love her and she loves me I don't fit her society

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks

Mama have mercy on a boy from down in the ooh

Have mercy baby a little mercy hang around all day take me

Down in the boondocks da da down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks da da down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks da da down in the boondocks
