Down In The Boondocks 가사

Ev'ry night I watch the lights from the house upon the hill I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always will But I don't dare knock upon her door, 'cause her daddy is my boss man So I got to try to be content, to see her whenever I can, goin' Chorus: Down in the boondocks, 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, but I don't fit in her society Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks But I need money, honey, give me money, honey Money, honey, (I need enough) money, honey I'll take it to the bank, I'll take it all down, just say it to me, oh man chorus One fine day I'll find a way to move from this old shack I'll hold my head up like a king and I never will look back Until that day I'll work and slave, and I'll save every dime But tonight she'll have to steal away to see me one more time, goin' chorus repeats 2x Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks Mama have mercy on a boy from down in the - ooh Have mercy baby, a little mercy, hang around all day, take me Down in the boondocks, da-da-down in the boondocks (repeats out)
