Down in the boondocks,
down in the boondocks
People put me down
because every side of town
I was born, yeah
I love her, she loves me,
but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on a boy
who died in the bullet time
Every night I watch the light
from the house up on the hill
I love a little girl who lives up there
and I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door,
daddy is my boss man
So I'll just have to be content
to see her whenever I can
Down in the blue tide,
down in the blue tide
People put me down,
they said society I was born in
I love her, she loves me,
I don't think her society
Lord have mercy on the boy
who died in the middle of time
Play it now
Now one bright day
I'll find a way to move
from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a king
and I never ever will look back
Until that morning I wouldn't sleep
and I'll save every dime
But tonight she'll have to steal away,
see me one more time
Down in the boondock,
down in the boondock
People put me down
cause there's a side of town I was born in
I love her, she loves me,
I don't fit her society
Lord have mercy on the boy
from down in the boondocks
Oh, down in the boondocks
Oh, 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,
I'm gonna create a society
Lord have mercy on the boy
from down in the blue town
Lord have mercy on the boy
from down in the blue town
I'd just like to say
there'll never be nothing
