Katie's sittin' on a row 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 layin' on the horn Splashin' 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 holdin' on to one another To even care about the show
Later on outside the Tasty Freeze Tommy slips somethin' on the head
He says my high school ring won't 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 waitin' up till half past twelve When they come sneakin' up the wall
He says young lady get on up to your room While me and Junior have a talk
Mama breaks in and says don't lose your temper It wasn't very long ago
You yourself was just a AC plow boy You didn't have a road 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
