Katie's sitting on the old front porch Watching the chickens peck the
ground There ain't a whole lot going on tonight In this one horse
town. Over yonder, coming up the road In a beat-up Chevy truck Her
boyfriend Tommy, is laying on the horn Splashing 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 holding on to one another To even care about the
show But later on outside the Tastee Freeze, Tommy slips something on her
hand He says, "my high school 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 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
Her daddy's waiting 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" But Mama breaks in and 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 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. She's in love with the boy....
