Katie's sittin' on the old front porch Watchin' the chickens peck the ground
There ain't a whole lot goin' on tonight In this one-horse town Over yonder
comin' up the road In a beat-up Chevy truck Her boyfriend Tommy, he's 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 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 too busy holdin' on to one another To even care about the show
Later on outside the Tastee 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'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
But mama breaks in, says don't lose your temper It wasn't very long ago
When you yourself was just a hay-seed plowboy Who didn't have a row to hoe
My daddy said you wasn't worth a lick When it came to brains you 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
What's meant to be will always find a way
She's in love with the boy What's meant to be will always find a way
She's gonna marry that boy someday (sing365.com)
