Katie's sittin on her old front porch

Watchin' the chickens peck the ground

There ain't a whole lot going 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 muck



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 someday



Katie 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 someday



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

Momma breaks in says don't lose your temper

It wasn't very long ago

You yourself was just a hay seed plow boy

Who didn't have a row to how



My daddy said you wasn't worth a lick

When it came to brains you got the short of the stick

But he was wrong and honey you are to

Katie looks at Tommy like I still 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 gonna marry that boy someday
