Katie's sittin' on her old front porch,
Watchin' the chickens peck the ground.
There ain't a whole lot goin' on tonight,
In this one horse town.
Over yander, comin' up the road,
In a beat up chevy truck.
Her boyfriend Tommy is layin' on the horn,
Splashin through the mud and the muck.
Her daddy says, he ain't worth a lick,
When it comes to brains he's got the short end of the stick.
But Katies 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 holdin' on to one and other,
To even care about the show.
Later on outside the tasty-freeze,
Tommy slips somethin' on her hand.
He says my highschool ring will have to do,
'Till I can buy a wedding band.
Her daddy says he ain't worth a lick,
When it comes to brains
He's got the short end of the stick.
But Katies 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 daddys waitin' up 'till 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.
Mamma breaks in says don't lose your temper,
It wasn't very long ago,
When you yourself was just an hay-seed plow boy,
And didn't have a road or hope.
My daddy said you was not worth a lick,
When it came to brains you've got the short end of the stick
But he was wrong, and honey you are too,
Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you.
She's in love with the boy,
She's in love with the boy,
She's in love with the boy,
Whats ment to be will always find a way,
She's in love with the boy,
She's in love with the boy,
She's in love with the boy,
Whats ment to be will always find a way,
She's gonna marry that boy someday
