Later on outside the Tastee Freeze
In a beat-up Chevy truck
Parked in the very last row
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
But Katie's young and man, she just don't care
Her daddy says he ain't worth a lick
Her daddy says he ain't worth a lick
Mama breaks in, says, "Don't lose your temper
It wasn't very long ago
Tommy slips something on her hand
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
'Til I can buy a wedding band
There ain't a whole lot goin' on tonight
She's in love with the boy
She'd follow Tommy anywhere
When they come sneakin' up the walk
Over yonder comin' up the road
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick
They're too busy holdin' on to one another
While me and Junior have a talk"
In this one-horse town
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
When you yourself was just a hay-seed plow boy
What's meant to be will always find a way
What's meant to be will always find a way
She's gonna marry that boy someday
Her daddy's waitin' up 'til half past twelve
My daddy said, "You wasn't worth a lick
Splashin' through the mud and the muck
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick
She's in love with the boy
Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you
But Katie's young and man, she just don't care
He says, "Young lady get on up to your room
He says my high school ring will have to do
But he was wrong and honey you are too
Her boyfriend Tommy, he's layin' on the horn
To even care about the show
She's gonna marry that boy someday
She's in love with the boy
When it came to brains, you got the short end of the stick"
She'd follow Tommy anywhere
She's in love with the boy
She's gonna marry that boy someday
Who didn't have a row to hoe"
