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 on-horse town
Over yonder 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
Chorus
Her Daddy says "He ain't worth a lick,
when it come 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
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy someday
Katie and Tommy at the drive in movies
Parked in the very last row
They're too busy holdin' to one another
To even care about the show
Later over outside the tasty free's
Tommy slips somethin' on her hand
He said"My highschool ring will have to do,
Till I can buy a wedding band"
Repeat Chorus
Her Daddys waitin' up till half past twelve
When they come sneaking up the walk
He says"Young lady get on up to your room,
While me and junior have a talk"
Mama breaks in says"Don't lose your temper,
Wasn't very long ago,
When you yourself was just a hay-seed plowboy
Who didn't have a motor-hoe
My Daddy said"You wasn't worth a lick,
When it came to brains you got the short ed of the stick"
But he was wrong and honey you are too
Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you"
Shes in Love with the boy
She's in Love with the boy
Whats meant to be will always find a way
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
