Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
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 one horse town Over yonder comin’ up the road In a beat up Chevy truck Her boyfriend Tommy is laying on the horn Splashing through the mud and the muckHer daddy say’s, “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 somedayKatie and Tommy at the drive-in movie
Parked in the very last row They’re to busy holding on to one another To even care about the show Later on outside the Tasty 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 say’s, “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 somedayHer 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” Momma breaks in says, “don’t lose your temper It wasn’t very long ago When you yourself was just a hay seed plow boy 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 somedayShe’s in love with the boy
